When governments design, a budget, they need to consider the cost of maintaining infrastructure like highways and roads. Road where is a form of mechanical and chemical, erosion, where the surface of the road is worn away overtime. Looking at the graphic below, which types of vehicles are likely to cause the most damage to road overtime?

Question

When governments design, a budget, they need to consider the cost of maintaining infrastructure like highways and roads. Road where is a form of mechanical and chemical, erosion, where the surface of the road is worn away overtime. Looking at the graphic below, which types of vehicles are likely to cause the most damage to road overtime?

Motorbike=200kg
Passenger car=1500kg
Pick-up truck=2500kg
Flat-bed truck=3500kg
Truck (2-axle)=7500kg
Truck with trailer (4-axle)=30000
Short answer: in 2 to 3 sentences describe, with supporting details, which category of vehicle registration should governments charge the most for and why which vehicle category should be charged the least and why

Answer 1

The category of vehicle registration that governments should charge the most for is trucks with trailers (4-axle) at 30000kg. These vehicles cause the most damage to roads overtime due to their heavy weight and the pressure they exert on the road surface. On the other hand, motorbikes at 200kg should be charged the least as they have the least impact on road erosion compared to heavier vehicles.
