Re: [Phys-l] [ncnaapt] another crackpot idea from the California legislative assembly



Just a thought---Is it necessarily a good idea to reduce road flexing? If the roadway is less elastic, then wouldn't temperature changes cause more cracks than before, leading to increased repair costs? Not sure how much of roadway flexion is purposeful in the design.
