And that's why that gravel road of old was so wonderful. No frost heaves and not much "repair." One did have to install a window protector in Ft. Dawson, though...

How lenient are to DOT officers in AK and Canada about broken windshields?

The lack of potholes in the gravel portion of the road was not due to it being gravel but more due to the Canadians that were maintaining the roads doing it properly the first time. In the US all you see is them pulling dirt out of the ditches and filling in the potholes. Well they were maintaining the one portion of the road and the grader was ripping the road all the way down to the bottom of the potholes. Then he would come back and smooth the road.
Just filling in the hole does not fix it. As soon as it rains again the hole fills with water and every time a car hit that spot the water would splash the dirt and gravel back out of the pothole and making it even worse than before they fixed it.
My uncle drove a Jeep down from Anchorage in the latter half of the 60's. By the time he got to Seattle the front bumper was in the back of the jeep and every bolt on that thing had to be tightened. -

When I ran a lot of bc I used to keep a copy of receipt for windshield in truck it wasn't uncommon to crack on first trip in winter.. That way if I got hassled I'd show them it's a new windshield that normally got a verbal warning then you changed it

And there's a whole lot more traffic now than back then. And the RVs are larger, too.
