Years ago Chicago started putting concrete pads on the road at bus stops because the busses stopping in the exact same spot repeatedly was carving ruts into the asphalt.
- cwillu 3mo agoYeah, my city is currently going through every bus stop in the city, redoing the pavement in concrete. Construction season has been nasty for us this year :p
- superb_dev 3mo agoA city I used to live in did the same thing when they refurbished all the major bus stops. I always wondered why
- bombcar 3mo agoAlso if a vehicle is stopped and the driver turns the wheel (with power steering this isn't hard) - it will eventually drill holes in asphalt - you can sometimes see this in house driveways where someone turns around.
- toasty228 3mo agoYou can even see the asphalt "waves" pushed by the buses stopping here over and over again
- Breza 3mo agoI've lived in Washington DC for 20 years and I never realized why the bus stops here are concrete! Thank you for this.
