I remember one year when I was a kid and they did the road with that crap. All our neighbors were complaining about broken head lights and chipped paint due to the rocks getting kicked in the air.
First, I concede that no form of paving is good for the environment. That being said, Chip/Seal has to be the worst. The Oil. What is it? I think it must be the least refined and most contaminated product available. It eventually leaches into the water table. The stone never exactly binds to the oil. Probably less than 20% of the stone remains on the road surface, which means it's an 80% loss process. I looked at the recently stoned Westwood Road. Huge clouds of dust from the cars driving by. I'm sure local homeowners love that. Chip/ sealing is a terrible, environmentally harmful, wasteful and ineffective 19th century technique. If we stopped wasting money on chip/sealing and applying our resources intelligently, we would have better roads.
