In the article, “Porous Asphalt Is King of the Road,” on the website Pave Green (n.d), it was stated that porous asphalt is beneficial in terms of environment, safety and the cost. Porous asphalt earned its recognition from the Environmental Protection Agency and has been used all around United States. It was indicated that porous asphalt roads exclude small aggregates to allow water to pass through, acting like a filtration system. Thus, this reduces flooding and erosion. Superhighways also use porous asphalt as the absence of splash from heavy rainstorm has reduced accident rates significantly. The article mentioned that porous pavement allows snow to liquefy quicker which saves the cost of anti-icing agents, making it cost-effective and eco-friendly. Despite the high cost, it makes up for the costs saved from water pipes and inlets.
When the night has been too lonely And the road has been too long And you think that love is only For the lucky and the strong Just remember in the winter Far beneath the bitter snows Lies the seed That with the sun's love In the spring Becomes the rose
