Maybe I'm just a dumb Australian but what are they doing exactly? Painting a street? Why? Is it purely decorative or is there some functional purpose eg "seals the surface so ice during winter doesn't crack it"
Applying sealer to asphalt every few years extends how long the asphalt lasts before it has to be replaced.
Thanks. I can see how our Australian tradition of letting roads just go to shit confused me.
I guess we don't really have freeze and thaw cycles. Only hot and even hotter cycles.
And we put that shitnon our roads it melts out anyway haha
