To allow for expansion. if it's not done in sections, slabs will crack and chip off in undetermined locations
Concrete roads are laid in sections with joints or pitch to accommodate the natural expansion and contraction of the material due to temperature changes. These joints prevent cracking and structural damage by allowing the concrete to move without restraint. Additionally, the sections facilitate maintenance and repair, as damaged segments can be replaced without affecting the entire road. This design enhances the longevity and durability of the pavement.
Tires are made with rubber. Asphalt roads are made with petroleum products. Both are naturally black in color. Of course, concrete roads are normally beige, the natural color of concrete. And I've seen local roads paved with a concrete/stone mix made using red shale, and they have a strong pinkish hue!
It withstands compression very well.. especially when reinforced with rebar or put under tension in press-stressed members.
Because then it has room for moving and shrinking, growing etc Concrete roads and pavements are laid in sections and a all gap is left between each sections. This is filled either tarmac or rubber compound
Some examples of things made of concrete include buildings, bridges, roads, and sidewalks. In construction projects, concrete is commonly used as a strong and durable material for foundations, walls, floors, and other structural elements.
No the roads are made out of asphalt.

Concrete are used without reinforcement bars on concrete roads.
Sidewalks and roads.
Hhh
As the weather varies the concrete expands and contracts. If there were no gaps the concrete would buckle and crack.
