What happens when it gets soft? Can a car get stuck? Or a person?

probably at around 200f.(i dont exactly know what temperature) i have drove through areas, where the temperature is at 120f, and nothing happens to the roads. besides the first thing that will happen is getting a flat tire, since tires are made of rubber.

Here in NZ the road tar starts to get soft on what we'd call a hot summer day; say 25C=77F. But it regularly gets hotter than that in the Arabian Gulf, even in winter. I can recall the temperature reaching 48C=118F, and the road seal wasn't soft. Reason? They use more expensive road seal than we do, with a higher melting point.
