I doubt it. Roads are terrible roads already. Asphalt is a cheap way of paving a road that needs to be repaired and replaced very frequently. If there is any deliberate design of roads, it's only that they degrade fairly gracefully and repair is built into the cost. But this frequently leads to corrupt practices such as kickbacks (at the least, this is a common public perception) or extended periods of poor quality roads. Surely a better solution is to design the roads more carefully to avoid such a level of degradation. Since this matches the design required for solar panels, this could be a great driver for change.
