    Okay sort of a pet peeve but while cobblestone roads such as the romans built are incredibly long lasting they suck shit for anyone in a wheelchair, with a pram or on a bicycle.

    Asphalt theoretically good folks. Just gotta apply it correctly instead of for vehicles that fuck it up in no time flat.

      Seeing as those roads were not designed around those three things, but asphalt roads were definitely designed around cars, I still have to give the win to the Romans on this one. I do see your criticism, and it's a valid point when it comes to city planning, but the Roman roads have done their jobs so much better than the modern roads.

        Asphalt roads were not designed for cars lol. They just use them, much to everybodies detriment.

          Oh. Regardless, asphalt roads are being put down for cars to use, so they are doing a really bad job at that.

            That's like, the point though.

            Do cobblestone for cars and above - it'll keep forever - do asphalt for everythhing below that and it'll keep forever.
