+1, I live in a place where many streets are made of paving bricks/stones and I would rather drive through asphalt with potholes. Those stones completely destroy your suspension (and your entire vehicle if your suspension is hard) and get slippery and dangerous if you drive a motorcycle.

- hinkley 3y agoAbout once a year I ask myself why they don't recycle cobble streets. We recycle asphalt, we're trying to recycle concrete. If you look at the cobbles it's relatively clear that the wear patterns have something to do with the hardness of the stones/bricks. If you sorted the recovered stones by height, and built a new road with matched cobbles, you would still get wear of course, but the variance would be less, right? Take three city blocks of cobble. Sort them into three groups, one containing the softest and the broken cobbles, then use each of the remaining to pave one block each.
