Petroleum bitumen is often confused with tar. Although bitumen and coal tar are similarly black and sticky, they are distinctly different substances in origin, chemical composition and in their properties. Coal tar is produced by heating coal to extremely high temperatures and is a by-product of gas and coke production. It was widely used as the binding agent in road asphalt in the early part of the last century, but has since been replaced by refined bitumen.
The tar gaps are where the hwy has been repaired.
Tar is heated so it can stick to what ever it is going on. If it was cooled it would not stick right.
The spelling!

Two different, but plausible, origins of the North Carolina "Tarheel" nickname. of which I am aware, are: ' 1) Tar stuck on the heels of sailors, longshoremen and other persons working on and around ships, docks etc in North Carolina's first settlements, all on the sea cost. The seams on hulls,wharfs, piers and decks were covered with tar as waterproofing: Tar Heels 2) During the Civil War, North Carolina troops fought so steadfastlhy that they gave no ground in one battle. It was observed by a Confederate general (possibly Lee) that they held their ground like their heels were stuck to the ground with tar: Tar Heels. Of course, this origin could actually be in reference to the first one, that is Lee, from Virginia knew of their maritime "Tar Heel" moniker and adapted it to fit the situation at hand
