I don't know a lot about road building, but I always thought that is the point of jointed concrete roads.

- sp332 14y agoSure, and I've seen sidewalks made the same way, but you can't use concrete in the "salt belt" [0] because salt causes ridiculous amounts of pitting in concrete roads. [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salt_Belt https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salt_Belt
- ImprovedSilence 14y agoHm, what do states that get snow, but don't use salt do? Like CO for instance? Also, I'm from PA, and pa/nj/ny are probably where i've seen the most concrete roads? (maybe that's why PA roads are so shitty compared to MD/VA?, besides the fact that they re-pave their roads every 2 years....)
- sp332 14y agoHm, http://www.pothole.info/2011/03/how-road-salt-leads-to-rough-pavement-sometimes/ http://www.pothole.info/2011/03/how-road-salt-leads-to-rough... and other sources I just Googled seem to agree that salt only affects concrete in certain situations. I guess there's some other reason we don't have concrete roads up in New Hampshire...
