/diy/ - Do It Yourself

I didn't think they were surviving roman roads retard, I'm just showing that the type of road can indeed handle heavy traffic quite easily, and actually hold up extremely well.
I don't know why there is even such a thing as modern roadway fanbois who are compelled to rationalize that roman roads somehow sucked compared to modern roads. Modern roads made from asphalt are designed to be repaired constantly by scraping them up, reheating, then relaying. It's convenience for sake of materials and cost, but certainly NOT durability nor longevity. Everyone knows they have absurdly short lifespans even with light use. They need constant maintenance to be even remotely viable. The concept only works when that constant maintenance is actually provided, which we all know it isn't.
