What are the characteristics and advantages of asphalt pavement?

1. Comfort: Asphalt pavement is a flexible pavement, offering a comfortable ride with less noise; conversely, cement concrete pavement is a rigid pavement, resulting in relatively poor driving comfort. Furthermore, cement concrete pavement requires frequent expansion joints, further reducing driving comfort.
2. Paving Time: Asphalt pavement is quick to open to traffic, sometimes in less than a day; cement concrete pavement requires watering and curing after paving, making the process more time-consuming.
3. Repair Time: Repairing localized damage to asphalt concrete is relatively easy, minimizing traffic disruption; cement concrete, due to its high strength, is difficult to remove after damage, and re-paving requires multiple days of curing, making it more troublesome.
4. Safety: The rougher surface of asphalt pavement provides stronger anti-skid properties than the smooth surface of cement concrete pavement, reducing the risk of skidding in rainy weather and shortening braking distances.
