Why is the road black or gray , why couldn't be pink?

Answer 1

because a pink road would make you look at it and u wouldnt be concentrating as much on driving as on the pretty color of the road, plus they dont make pink concrete

Answer 2

because asphalt is usually black because it has some components tar are black, tar for example. On the other hand, when they use concrete, which is usually gray, the rubber from the tires also makes it look blackish. The only solution to your problem is to use some kind of material which is naturally pink; it could be pink marble, for example. That is very expensive, though. It will also be necessary to change the rubber they use to make tires, but I don't think that's impossible, since they do it with bycicle tires.

Answer 3

If the road is concrete, grey is the natural color of the concrete. Concrete can be colored using different dyes and pigments, but the cost would make our roadways even more expensive than they already are. For asphault roadways, it depends on the soil and rocks they use. In most cases, it is black because of the asphaultic oil used to mix in with the soil and rocks. But in some areas of the US where the soil and rock are reddish-colored because of iron deposits, the asphault roadways are tinted pink.

Answer 4

Asphalt is made by recycling the materials from old roads, and of course other things. In some states, you can see highways that have a pink color to them.

Answer 5

Visit Winston-Salem, NC, or El Paso, TX. I am sure there are others.
