The pavement is black primarily due to the use of asphalt, which is made from bitumen—a dark, sticky substance derived from petroleum. The black color helps absorb heat from sunlight, which can aid in melting snow and ice in colder climates. The lines are painted white for high visibility, as white contrasts sharply against the dark pavement, making them easier for drivers and pedestrians to see, especially at night or in low-light conditions.
