Agreed, but until NH and it citizens decide that it is worthy of a multi-billion dollar bond to repair all of the Class 2 (mostly numbered secondary roads such as 25, 25B, 109, etc) they will never get fixed correctly. The state believes it is cheaper/better to pave and shim (which means skim coat and fill the shoulder with gravel) every few years.
Mass does the opposite, once they fix a road it is done right. Unfortunately it takes a long, long time to fix them!
