Smart Road
I had always wondered if anyone was doing any research for "road technology". I remember reading an article (many moons ago) where they were experimenting with a road surface that would allow water to seep through (much like weed block does in a garden). This was in response to the "over paving" going on in America (parking lots etc.) and the inability of storm drains to handle severe storms. Would be nice to hear if anything came of that as I would rather have that than quieter roads..no ice would form..you would not have the warnings about street flooding every time a severe storm came along...and it would serve well in all areas of the country.
