Car roads =/= development. There should be more railroads with one high speed train between batumi-tbilisi though.

Turkey has been investing a lot in infrastructure for a very long time, and Georgia just started in the late 2000s, accelerating in the late 2010s. More highways are being built in Georgia every year than ever before. While GD could be slammed for hundreds of reasons, Georgia has a very high rate of expanding its road network. Maybe you should travel more, and there is a current project coming up that will build a highway between Turkey and Georgia to connect the two countries.
Other than that, Georgia is very mountainous, so it’s not that simple. It has higher costs and huge logistical issues that take more time and energy.

Because our main highway that does have similar intersections but is 2 lines only should have been finished by 2014 yet corrupt government keeps celebrating opening some sections of it every year and GD supporters gobble it up.
Still not finished by the way.

Being American, Ive seen highway systems that are unimaginable. The beltway system going around Houston, Texas, for example, is eight lanes going in each direction, and stretching for many miles.
But, that system takes up a huge amount of land. Hundreds of people die on those roads every year. A lot of pollution and noise comes from that. Those are not things to be so proud
about. There have to be better ways than that.
Moscow left most of its SSRs in a pretty sorry state of underdevelopment by the time the USSR cracked apart. And the civil war and economic implosion in the 90s severely slowed down any hope of catching up in infrastructure development
2004 onward a lot of effort has been put into infrastructure development, and the change since 2012 has been remarkable. But the mix of rugged terrain, wet weather, unstable soil, and a political party who takes a very piecemeal approach to construction and renovation because it’s easier to score points with voters/supporters by waiting until right before elections to complete segments of projects rather than finishing entire projects (that will subsequently be forgotten about by the time election season comes along) means they’re less interested in quickly finishing larger works.
But the hybrid of West European and Chinese construction in the country HAS had a major and notable positive effect
I remember the roads in 2012. They were horrendous
By contrast, right now, a lot of roads are actually pretty great. There’s a lot of work to be done still, but it’s worlds of difference
There’s even proper highways being built through remote areas like Zagari Pass, just past Ushguli, up in Svaneti. THAT was a bit of a shock to me when I went through there 3 years ago

Because this kind of roads are retarded and pointless, roundabout archives the same thing

I’ve just cycled from Tbilisi to Samsun and I can tell you that with the exception of the highway, Turkey is no better. The infrastructure here in Turkey is trash just in different ways.

This reminds me of the peculiar case of Hungary 🇭🇺.
He has the best railway system of all soviet satellites, better even than some nations on the other side of the iron curtain.
This because the expansion was planning long before the coming if the pro-soviet government that was able to build upon that plan and improve it.
Then after the cold war decided to instead stopping maintaining the railways and instead focus on improving the roads network.
The final results of modern Hungary is that the railway fall from one of the best in Europe to one of the worst, and the roads still sucks.

Because of mountainous relief.
Because we are run by incompetent idiots

idk man, why can’t Turkey have cities like this. /s
ok real answer, where would such a highway be placed in Sarpi? There’s only so much space between the sea and the mountains there.
There are highway interchanges like that in Georgia where there is appropriate space and demand, like [here](https://maps.app.goo.gl/QmEKZVoqwodZq3RYA), or [here](https://maps.app.goo.gl/KnXCk97DR5CY6CLd7), or [there](https://maps.app.goo.gl/Bqugf64dz1hamBhf7), and [there](https://maps.app.goo.gl/ZohkZYcB3jDUAXTJ7) and also over [there](https://maps.app.goo.gl/3qUpVvrkh7wsbXdw6).
I hope otsnebists don’t start tearing up the autobahn because “Misha built it”)
They are too busy trying to turn Batumi into a 2nd smaller version of Dubai.
