Trivia

Any details, considerations, events or pieces of information regarding the word

1. Coal tar was once used as a pavement material. It was popular because it was cheaper than asphalt and could be laid down more quickly. However, coal tar pavements have several drawbacks. They can be more difficult to maintain than asphalt pavements, and they can be more prone to cracking and other forms of damage. In addition, coal tar pavements can be more hazardous to motorists than asphalt pavements. This is because coal tar pavements can be more slippery than asphalt pavements, especially when they are wet. This can make it more difficult for motorists to maintain control of their vehicles, especially when they are traveling at high speeds. As a result, coal tar pavements have largely been replaced by asphalt pavements, which are generally considered to be more durable, easier to maintain, and safer for motorists than coal tar pavements.
