So this is the modern “cheap” way to pave?
Use to be the road department would grade, spray with tar, shovel and spread crushed stone then roll it.
Then do it again maybe twice or thrice (minus the grading).
I think it was called a “built up” surface road.
The men in orange jumpsuits could be doing that today.

I remember when that was the dirt road from hell.

We used to take this route in the 70s and early 80s, slipping back into Florida in the small hours, after frequenting the North Baldwin Social Club or Someplace Else.

I would imagine that this route is still used today by those who wish to avoid interpersonal interaction, or just simply trying to make it home.
