When you think of asphalt, what comes to mind? Your driveway, or a parking lot perhaps? Maybe an affordable option? But did you know that it’s also environmentally friendly, can last a lifetime, and upkeep is easy and quick? Making it an Eco-friendly option with several wonderful uses! Below are just three reasons why you should go green with asphalt:
1. Safety First
Easy and affordable to repair, asphalt roads provides a smooth, skid-free surface with gripping power that minimizes the cost of vehicle maintenance. Open-graded asphalt reduces weather-related accidents as rainwater drains through the pavement causing less splash and spray kicked up by cars and trucks.
2. Reduced, Reused and Recycled
It requires less energy to produce and construct than other pavements, and can also save energy. Easy to build and repave, there is no need to wait days or weeks for lanes to reopen. As soon as the road is compacted and cooled, it's driveable, helping reduce congestion and saving travelers fuel. Pavement is also highly reused and reclaimed keeping cost on materials low.
3. A Never Ending Lifespan
With generally no wear, upkeep on asphalt is minimal. In most cases, only the top layer will need replacing, and it can be done quickly and efficiently saving taxpayers money. The smoother the road, the longer the lifespan. There is also less waste on natural resources, making it the environmentally friendly choice.
