Paving tiles are so much easier to repair, pull & replace for utility work & #tree root care, and rearrange for new road layouts than #asphalt or #concrete.
Tiles are cheaper, can embed rather than spew #carbon, and provide drainage.
Photo next to #transit hub in #Lund #Sweden. White crosswalk pavers in arc of gray pavers. Smooth enough for #disability & #bike use. Perfect for #transit speed.
And pavers can hold the weight of a #bus.
#PavingTiles for the win!
@CathyTuttle I don't understand how this would work with snow plows. The plows already rip up asphalt roads badly enough—I'm pretty sure this is why the uphill lane on local roads has more damage than the downhill lane—and with this it seems they'd just be chucking pavers left and right.
What kind of winter precip do they get there? Is it the icy/wet snow kind or really dry stuff? Here it's largely the former. I can imagine just *brushing* the latter off the road.
