Asphalt roads last for 10 years...😂😂 Tell that to the road builders in any metro city. Real life of asphalt roads are from this rainy season to next year's rains
In the highway the difference can be very practically seen. A part of the highway was made of concrete slabs some 6-7 years ago and it is still fresh as new, not a single pothole or any cracks where as the other half of the highway is newly constructed and they choose asphalt over concrete and funny thing the construction is not even complete over 6 months it devloped pothole deep enough to break alloy wheels at high-speed. In 10 years i dont think it will be anything to be called as road let alone a National highway.
It really depends from place to place, and also depends on several factors like type of Aggregate, Quality Construction & Grade of bitumen, etc. In Canada & US, the majority of Roads are made of Asphalt & are proven good for use. For Highways Asphalt is the best option as there is no skidding or tire burst problem so less chance of accidents, it gives a smooth ride, suitable for high speed & henceforth no noise.
To have a more durable asphalt road, it is best to stabilize the base at a minimum of 200mm before sealing of asphalt. However there are few methods to stabilize the base depending on the terrain. This method with less water ingress and more durable roads.
That's what i am talking, concrete lasts centuries even in the least ideal conditions. Asphalt roads are estimated to have 10 years life span but actually break down within 3-4 years. Asphalt is overrated and concrete is underrated. Asphalt underdelivers and Concrete overdelivers.

Isn't there a technique, especially for long dusty rural roads in remote areas, where a 2-lane wide road surfacing machine grinds up the dust to a depth of 20 cm, mixes it with a hardening powder and water and releases it at the back as a smooth surface. That surface then only needs a thin layer of bitumen sprayed on it and rollers compacting it. You could use road trains for the powder, water and liquid bitumen to limit the long distance truck trips. In that way many kilometres of road could be covered in a short period of time...
Concrete roads are less smooth as compared to asphalt roads. It causes a bit rough ride, and with high tyre noise it brings down the whole driving experience.

This video seems heavily BIASed towards concrete roads. Honestly, I would argue that asphalt is better for adverse weather conditions. I live in a place where I get to experience all the seasons and pretty much all the roads are asphalt. The video seemed to define adverse weather conditions as 'rain', meanwhile, in reality, there are more types of adverse weather. One major advantage of asphalt over concrete is that is better for places that actually experience WINTER (snow, ice, extreme cold). Which, where I live, lasts for ~6 months. (It used to be ~8 months, but thanks to global warming that's no longer the case.) Asphalt is better for traction and grip which is really important in winter conditions. In addition asphalt is more flexible than concrete so it is less likely to crack due to the contraction/expansion it undergoes as the temperature changes (and even if it cracks, it's cheaper to repair). On the other hand, concrete roads can crack due to water seeping into the cracks when the concrete expands/contracts due to the temperature and then once the temperature drops below freezing, the water becomes ice and causes the cracks in the concrete to expand.
Asphalt road are way more easy to drive, maintain, look good, cheaper to lay, if our govt can lay them properly then they are always better option. You can use platic to lay asphalt as well. Environment has trillion and trillion tons of plastic. Concrete roads take ages to build (example near my home) and also they are not good heat absorbers, tyre tend to get damage on concrete more then asphalt. Asphalt gives smoother drive and less noice in the cabin. Cheap, cost effective and economical

Why not use both methods and get it all? Make a concrete road first and then cover it with asphalt! This would give a quality, long-lasting, quiet and safe road!

Concrete road more abrasive to Tire. which is you going the replace them frequently
on Asphalt. is less and more friendly to tire
