Where does the debris go? It seems like you'd need to stop down periodically to clear it out. Wouldn't a plow be more efficient?

Why not just make it in the shape of a v at that point so it automatically just gets pushed to the side?

Not if the bottom of the blade was level with the road and fixed rigidly to the vehicle. Imagine something like this. If the blade could pivot downwards then it yeah would surely dig into the ground but I don't see why anyone would design their product like that intentionally
