The only land transportation to Rittland's seaport is via a divided highway, one side carrying traffic to the seaport and one carrying traffic away from it.

Which of the following, if true, most helps to explain the difference in the rate of wear?

【选项】All of Rittland's automobiles are imported by ship.
