Agreed, plus the abandoned vehicles and improvised road blocks will only make things worse.

Again agreed, but the point was to illustrate that roads and tracks etc, do not simply vanish under 3 feet of soil and become unusable after 5, 10, 15 years etc..... the lanes in those videos have been abandoned by the local authorities for decades, yes we regularly have to remove fallen trees etc in order to pass through, but the tracks/lanes remain useable. Roads should fair even better as they are generally built over these sorts of tracks in the first place.
The idea that every bridge will suddenly fail and collapse within a few years and that every road will become impassable is simply ridiculous.
