I'm not sure how those solar roads would stand up with freeze/thaw and 160,000 pound Semi's like my Brother used to drive.
But I did just post a comment on Facebook,, I should perhaps keep a copy.
I recommended roofing over the roads with Solar Roofs.. Open sides (like covered bridges) but Solar Roofs. This would lessen (but not eliminate) snow and rain effects on the road, it would shade the road. NO vegetation would be harmed if the roofs were properly placed. and a roof over the entire road means that low-energy LED lighting can be used to provide a soft glare free light at night instead of pools of overly bright light. I see it as a win for everyone not named Kotch.
