What often causes pothpoles in streets?
Potholes are holes created in the road due to various stresses. On tar roads, the tar can expand and contract considerably during the summer and the winter. As a result of this constant contraction and expansion, parts of the road can erode away. During the winter, ice can also form in the pores in the tar road and the freezing of the ice expands the road slightly. Over days, weeks, and months of exposure to such stresses, tar roads break away at weak points and form potholes. Continued driving and application of the weight of multiple cars and trucks can also facilitate the road's destruction. The same can occur on concrete roads, although not as often as on tar roads.

Why the gaps in concrete road are filled with tar?
Gaps in concrete roads are filled with tar, also known as joint sealant, to accommodate the expansion and contraction of concrete due to temperature changes. This helps prevent water infiltration, which can lead to freeze-thaw damage and deterioration of the road surface. Additionally, filling these gaps reduces noise and provides a smoother driving experience. Overall, it enhances the longevity and structural integrity of the road.
