Why is asphalt paving important?
Asphalt road surfaces offer many benefits, including cost efficiency, reduction in noise pollution and comfort. Using asphalt materials in road construction and maintenance can improve the benefits for all road users and the environment. Asphalt is the green pavement: It is up to 100\% reusable resp. recyclable.
What are the benefits of asphalt construction?
The following are some of the most popular benefits of using an asphalt pavement.

- Asphalt is Durable and Long Lasting.
- Asphalt is Good for Noise Reduction.
- Asphalt is Cost Efficient.
- Asphalt Projects Can be Completed Quickly.

Why do we need better roads for wheeled transport?
Wheeled transport created the need for better roads. Generally, natural materials cannot be both soft enough to form well-graded surfaces and strong enough to bear wheeled vehicles, especially when wet, and stay intact.
Why don’t we use natural materials to build roads?
Generally, natural materials cannot be both soft enough to form well-graded surfaces and strong enough to bear wheeled vehicles, especially when wet, and stay intact. In urban areas it began to be worthwhile to build stone-paved streets and, in fact, the first paved streets appear to have been built in Ur in 4000 BC.
