Spandex road surfacing--- there has been such a surface invented and tested in AZ. Not spandex, but they were mixing asphalt with ground-up tires, and while it was more expensive initially, it was maintenance-free and lasted a very long time. It was a John Stossel special back in the late 90's... and I think it was either AZ state hwy 10 or I-10. Missouri was thinking of doing it, but found it was
not cost effective, probably because someone at the Missouri
dept of Transportation had an uncle or cousin working for
an asphalt company.
