For very good reasons I don't talk politics about the Himalayan region. It's about the most militarised and surveilled place on the planet. But here is what the main roads in Tibet look like these days. I wish my country was smart enough to do this (elevated roadway, concrete edges, drainage, armco inside and out, trees everywhere). People don't enjoy hitting animals, potholes, corrugated surfaces - more accidents and fatalities are the result.
The raised green vertical slats on the centre sections are a cheap genius move - they stop you seeing oncoming traffic and drivers relax more as a result, it's a clear demarcation. It's the most peaceful experience imaginable to cruise along in a 3500m paradise on these roads. Even the trees have stabilised the Yarlung River valley, less dust storms, more beauty.
I noticed the same visually even before reading your words.
