Grew up in the east coast of Canada where we have frigid winters. There's popular knowledge there that water will seep unevenly under the road, freeze, and lift parts of the road up. This causes the road to crack. Given snowplows scrape the roads, and cars still drive during winter, the lifted pavement gets damaged. This eventually results in potholes. Pavers don't work because the city needs to remove the snow, and the pavers would get removed by the plows. I don't know of a viable road alternative that is also economical for places with snow.
