why aren't roads white

There are reasons for why roads are black in colour that I identified and I want to share with you

asphalt concrete is available at a low price. The cost that occurs to made of asphalt roads is also low.

During the summer and high temperatures, the black color does not reflect the solar waves that will help us to see the roads clearly.

Asphalt concrete absorbs heat but that doesn’t affect visibility in extremely hot conditions.

In night times bright colors can be easily seen on black roads. whereas bright colors on white roads cannot easily be identified. We can easily say that white lines can be easily identified on black roads whereas white line road markings cannot be identified easily on the white roads.

In addition, any irregularity on the road, with the exception of the black color, can be simply detected.



Black Asphalt

Asphalt concrete has a higher adhesion with rubber than concrete roads.

Asphalt concrete having a better road grip compare with normal concrete roads.
