In 1824, people first used tar on road construction. It was occurred in Paris, where people place tar blocks on Champs-ÌälysÌ©es of Paris. The modern tar roads are result from two Scottish engineers.
Roman roads were made with interlocking stones or pavers and still exist. They were well made. Modern are made with a tar base and eventually break down.
Roads are the black hard stuff on the ground for cars to drive on. Roads are made of tar. Tar is sticky black stuff that is made of tree skeletons.
Tar is a dark, oily, viscid mixture of hydrocarbons obtained by destructive distillation of resinous wood, coal, or ect. It's also what most roads are paved with.
Roads were formed in the following order:mud foot paths made by Native American hunting parties, usually along ridges up to end of 1700smud tracks in towns and on people's properties, no wider than 1 wagonFirst Stone road in Eastern Pennsylvania - Forbes Road - was constructed in 1758 from Carlisle, Pennsylvania, to the French Fort Duquesnehay or other grains and even clothing fabrics thrown on muddy tracksbroken rocks laid on muddy tracks"reddog" laid on muddy tracks - reddog is formed from burning coal at high temperatures, creating a sturdy "rock" with red to maroon coloring - from 1800s to 1970s or longerafter oil was drilled in wells (late 1800s), they could make petroleum products such as automobile tires, early 1900sThey could heat tar and spray it on roads, then apply a layer of gravel. This method is still in use.From learning to heat tar, they could make mounds of heated, gooey asphalt which was manually shoved and applied to a road bed after grading. Rolling and compression was done manually. Asphalt started being used after WWII. But it was more expensive than heated tar liquid and gravel preparations.Cement poured roads came in with making highways and toll roads, about 1965-69. Example: I-76 in PAHowever, even today, they still use asphalt patching. Rural areas still use tar and gravel which is cheaper for townships to maintain their roads. Coal produced reddog for roadways lessened after coal works closed down.Typically, you can tell what roads are state maintained (cement with asphalt patches), versus town (asphalt paved), versus rural or township (tar and gavel, or asphalt as a special expenditure).
i think they built the walls first
John Loudon McAdam, a Scottish road building expert, is credited with being the first to build tar surfaced roads. That is why they are called macadam roads.

tar
yes it is. it is one of many substances in a cigarette.
Tar is obtained from liquid petroleum. Tar is used as a hot liquid covering under gravel to build roads. Note: Asphalt is made from bituminous coal pitch, mixed with sand or gravel. The black color comes from coal pitch, not from petroleum, as does tar.
if we take one cigarette. You get this much Tar.
