Highways once tarred in alternate years may stay in good order with dustless road ideas gaining traction among Belgians and the Royal Automobile Club of England. Experiments in Chicago and abroad point to road design over car tech as the solution, with a Georgia road school planned in January at Athens where experts and a U.S. government official will demonstrate a mile of road and exhibit machinery.
