Safe: Highly reflective
concrete pavements offer better visibility for drivers in all situations, and
cut down on lighting costs for pavement owners, making our communities safer while
saving taxpayer dollars. Smooth concrete
roads don’t rut, nearly eliminating the chance for water buildup that can cause
skidding and hydroplaning, making the pavement a safer driving surface.
Smooth: A smooth ride
translates into financial benefits from fuel savings, fewer accidents, and less
maintenance. Concrete’s ability to
withstand heavy loads and outlast other pavement types translates into a
longer, smoother service life.
Durable: Concrete pavements
have an average service life of 31 years in Utah. Concrete pavements cost 28% less over the life cycle than other pavements.
Durable concrete pavements provide cost savings for repairs,
maintenance, fuel and automobile wear and tear.
Quiet: New texturing
techniques make concrete pavements as quiet as other pavement types, even
quieter in some cases. The long-lasting
durability of concrete means less noise from potholes, maintenance work, and
lane closures.
Cool: Reflectivity makes concrete
pavements cooler than other pavement types, helping to reduce temperatures in
communities and save energy costs in street lighting and air conditioning. Concrete pavements are 100% recyclable and actually contain recycled materials to begin with.
