In direct sunlight, pavement temperatures can rise to between 140°F to 160°F (60°C to 70°C), while steel surfaces, such as those in bridges, can reach even higher temperatures, often exceeding 180°F (82°C) or more. Factors like color, material, and environmental conditions can influence these temperatures. Such heat can pose risks for both structural integrity and safety for pedestrians and vehicles.

What scientific thing causes heat to be felt from the pavement?
There are two answers I can think of: If you mean why can you sometimes feel without touching it then: # The Sun warms up the pavement. # Air molecules bump into the pavement and get some of the pavement's heat transferred to it. This is called conduction, one of the 3 methods of heat transfer. # This hotter air is less massive than normal air, so it moves up (things with small mass float on things with larger masses.) and touches you. # You feel the heat. If you mean why is it hot to the touch then: # The Sun warms up the pavement. # You touch the pavement. # The hot pavement molecules hit your hand, and transfer over some of it's heat. Once again conduction. # You feel the heat. Is that what you were asking?
