The fate of our roads

For commercial, leisure and even commuting trips, roads bear the brunt of people's travel demands, and whether you are driving a truck a van or a car, riding a bicycle or sitting on a bus, there are certain basic things they all want from a road: no roadworks, a smooth road surface and not too much traffic ahead would all be near the top of most people's lists. Techniques such as onsite recycling and advances in the chemistry of surfacing should help reduce the time it takes to work on a road, cut costs and make for a more resilient, longer lived surface into the bargain.
