Multiple Perspective:
Asphalt pavement was first used in the US around 1870. It was considered to be cheap and easy labor. Even though it breaks down faster during the winter and spring time. Asphalt pavement provide us with a smooth and quiet ride. And if there is any work need to be done, asphalt is the way to fix it since it can be easily done and in a short amount of time. But compared with concrete pavement, it doesnt stand a chance, since concrete pavement is more durable and its life expectance is 30-40 year, even longer up to 100 years. Unlike asphalt it is made with better quality material and it also has reinforcement when being poured in sections on slabs. Since concrete pavement doesnt break down like asphalt, creating pot holes it wouldnt need to be filled up all the time with money that comes from tax payers, or would car owners have to take their vehicle into the shop getting there car fixed due to pots.

Potholes are everywhere and come in different sizes and can only be fixed when it reaches 8 inches wide. With that in mind people driving over these holes are not seeing it causing sever damage to there vehicle such as alignment, tire balance, stuts...it can also be very expensive to fix due to the part that need to be bought and the labor that needs to be done. Pot holes usualy form during winter and spring time when the snow melts and seeps into the bottom of the pavement and starts eating it away. Asphalt, when in the process of deteriorating it breaks off by traffic volume and weight thats put on it and it starts chipping away. Asphalt pavement only last up to 5-7 years compared with concrete pavement it last up to 30-40 years because concrete is made up of... and when laid out it is reinforced with metal and steel bars.
