Unlike well-built rails.Highways made of bitumen. Which is a byproduct of oil refining. As we learned when there was that fuss about the bitumen from Marsden Point being better than the imported stuff.So like fossil fuels, roads aren't actually sustainable. Something we need to transition away from.<a href="https://mastodon.nzoss.nz/tags/transport" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#transport</a> <a href="https://mastodon.nzoss.nz/tags/bitumen" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bitumen</a> <a href="https://mastodon.nzoss.nz/tags/roading" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#roading</a> <a href="https://mastodon.nzoss.nz/tags/rail" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#rail</a>

Global MuseumA cross section of ground from the A303 highway in England that traces the path of the ancient Roman road, the Fosse Way, which has historical significance dating back thousands of years. This route passes by Stonehenge, the famous prehistoric monument, and has been a hub of human activity since the Iron Age and possibly even earlier.<a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/archaeohistories" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#archaeohistories</a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/history" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#history</a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/roads" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#roads</a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/roading" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#roading</a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/England" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#England</a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/Roman" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Roman</a>

John Arnold_The Evening Post_, 16 July 1924: LOCAL AND GENERAL … For some time there has been a doubt as to whether <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Hutt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Hutt</a> road fees are applicable to the maintenance of the road as a whole, or for the upkeep of the bitumen strip only. The matter was referred to by the City Solicitor, Mr. J. O’Shea, in a brief report to the Hutt Road Board of Control yesterday afternoon. Mr. O’Shea gave his opinion that the moneys must be applied to the road as a whole. <a href="https://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/newspapers/EP19240716.2.35" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/newspapers/EP19240716.2.35</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/OnThisDay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#OnThisDay</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/OTD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#OTD</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/PapersPast" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PapersPast</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Roading" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Roading</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/RoadMaintenance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RoadMaintenance</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Fees" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Fees</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Taxation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Taxation</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Law" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Law</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/NewZealand" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NewZealand</a>

StrypeyWinston First have been spreading a story that the poor state of our roads was caused by a change to importing road bitumen, instead of producing it locally at Marsden Point. All because of the last Labour government and those bloody greenies; <a href="https://newsroom.co.nz/2024/02/08/nz-firsts-doomed-deal-to-reopen-marsden-point-refinery/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://newsroom.co.nz/2024/02/08/nz-firsts-doomed-deal-to-reopen-marsden-point-refinery/</a>A few points on that.(1/?)<a href="https://mastodon.nzoss.nz/tags/roading" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#roading</a> <a href="https://mastodon.nzoss.nz/tags/WakaKotahi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WakaKotahi</a> <a href="https://mastodon.nzoss.nz/tags/RONS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RONS</a> <a href="https://mastodon.nzoss.nz/tags/MarsdenPoint" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MarsdenPoint</a>

John Arnold_The Evening Post_, 25 May 1923:                LOCAL AND GENERAL   Perhaps the day may not be far distant when the horse-drawn vehicle will be a thing of the past in the thoroughfares of big cities, where tarred <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/macadam" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#macadam</a> or bitumen-surfaced roads will provide splendid speedways for motor traffic. In the meantime, however, it is stated that tarred macadam roads are not popular with horse-drivers, who say that on hot days in the summer time it is twice as hard for horses to draw loads over such surfaces as it ordinarily is to pull similar weights over water-bound macadam roadways. The wood-blocks on the streets of Wellington are most favoured by drivers because the evenness of their surface makes for smooth haulage in all weathers. <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Bitumen" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Bitumen</a> roads remain to be thoroughly tested in this city, but those thoroughfares which have been so treated appear to give satisfaction to horse-drivers. <a href="https://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/newspapers/EP19230525.2.28" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/newspapers/EP19230525.2.28</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/OnThisDay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#OnThisDay</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/OTD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#OTD</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/PapersPast" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PapersPast</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Roading" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Roading</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Roads" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Roads</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Vehicles" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Vehicles</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Wellington" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Wellington</a>

John Arnold_The Evening Post_, 5 Sept 1923: ROADS THAT LAST … The big bituminous paving plant on order for the City Council should arrive in Wellington in the course of a few weeks now… Wellington in the early days was very well content to bump its carts and wagons along over plain beach tracks, over grass tracks just as they might happen to be, and over the ruts when the grass wore away. Clay, roads came next… <a href="https://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/newspapers/EP19230905.2.55" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/newspapers/EP19230905.2.55</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/OnThisDay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#OnThisDay</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/OTD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#OTD</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/PapersPast" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PapersPast</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/NewZealand" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NewZealand</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Roading" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Roading</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Construction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Construction</a>
