Cheaper; seamless; more elastic and tougher; more easily resurfaced; not prone to potholes; suits the terrain. There’s no perfect road surface, but you can choose the one that is optimal. Chipseal is great for windy highways. Hot mix asphalt is mainly used in build-up residential areas and on motorways. We don’t really use concrete for roads at all.
