I know why:
1. the scarcity mentality of spectrum providers i.e. government
2. telco mentality
3. historical legacy
but it is still far from ideal

Now motorists along this solitary 95 mile stretch of highway have someone to talk to. Every half mile. Interstate 80 runs through parts of Pennsylvania so sparsely settled that bear and deer may still outnumber people. And interchanges are often ten miles apart. Until recently, this was no place for a stranded motorist. Now 370 roadside emergency telephones are helping to make this section one of the safest highways in the state. Each yellow call box is connected to one of the five State Police stations in the area. In an emergency, the motorist can pull to the side of the road, lift the receiver, and instantly get help. A light flashes on a phone back at police headquarters indicating the driver's direction of travel. And numbers on the call box enable him to give his exact location. The emergency telephones are located at least a dozen feet from the apron to avoid the danger of the caller being side-swiped by a passing vehicle. The American Telephone and Telegraph Company and your local Bell Company cooperate with local, state and Federal authorities to make the telephone serve you better.
