    Power lines run along most rural roads. At least where I have seen rural roads. A few don’t have them but in my experience most do. Of course it is whatever voltage the power lines are at, to use it you need a transformer, meter, circuit breakers and whatever.

      They won’t even put up lights to make the intersections safe or traffic lights, even though there is “power” and you think they’ll do this? Do I have a bridge to sell you….

      There’s a reason those lines aren’t already tapped dude. As I said, they actually use solar for powered stuff when needed, although those lines are there. Just because there’s lines, does in no way mean the intersection is powered. Where did you get this information from?

        I never said this was practical. It was an idea that it appears they never tried to make work in the 1960s (guessing age here). It is questionable if it could have been made to work with the technology of the day.

        lack of power is not a reason it couldn’t have worked.
