How Popular is Asphalt Paving in South Florida?
The vast majority of South Florida’s ( and the nation’s ) roadways from local main streets like Military Trail to Atlantic Ave in Delray Beach to I-95 are paved using asphalt. From parking lots to driveways, asphalt is the number 1 choice of South Florida home owners and business owners. Why is asphalt paving so popular?
Asphalt offers unbeatable properties such as noise reduction and superior traction. Newer types even absorb water! For example, did you know the 3 runways at West Palm’s own Palm Beach International airport all utilize the splash reduction and noise reduction of asphalt. All 4 runways at Miami International Airport are paved using asphalt as well.
Asphalt pavement offers super smooth racing surfaces and impeccable traction for racetracks. 93.9% of NASCAR racetracks are paved with it. In South Florida, the road course and Kart course at Palm Beach International Raceway are made of…you guessed it – Asphalt!
