Instead of just discarding used and broken tires, we could use them to make roads. Puts less wear on the current tires on the cars and require less maintenance than asphalt does!
But no, the resources for doing that are being used elsewhere for worse reasons
I’m absolutely terrified of crossing any road bigger than two lanes because of that. Whenever I would take a walk I would refuse to go to the neighborhood across the main street and would just stick to my own neighborhood. Even with a bike I don’t trust other drivers to give me the time to cross, I have no idea how people do it
