We subject roads to loads where that’s just not realistic. I think we should be embracing the Dutch method of brick streets in low speed areas (and of clear distinction between low speed streets which are places and higher speed roads that connect streets), but for a highway nothing known can handle multi ton vehicles with rubber tires at high-speed with high frequency. It’s just a lot of mechanical stress.
