Cost-Effective-Smooth roads aren’t just safer, they also save money.Smooth roads allow superior contact with vehicle tires for a safer (and more enjoyable) ride. Smooth asphalt roads also reduce rolling resistance (the friction between tires and pavement), which means better fuel economy and reduced carbon dioxide emissions. Smooth roads are safer because rough, uneven surfaces increase driver fatigue and diminish control. Smooth-Asphalt pavements provide a more uniform surface unmatched by other pavements.Asphalt pavement materials also eliminate potentially dangerous and expensive pavement blowups. Open-graded asphalt, a special type of road surface, can minimize splash and spray during rainstorms and reduce crashes and fatalities on highways. Unharmed by ice and snow chemicals, asphalt’s dark color also reduces glare and melts ice and snow more rapidly than other pavement types. Safe-Asphalt pavements offer high skid resistance and provide high contrast in color between asphalt pavement and road markers, giving drivers better road visibility in any weather condition.94% of the roads in America are surfaced with asphalt, and it’s no surprise why.
