Peak asphalt: the return of gravel roads
Ugo Bardi, The Oil Drum: Europe

Peak oil - arriving or already arrived - is placing a tremendous strain on the world's economy. Because of this strain, the kind of money used for maintaining roads is quickly disappearing and the result is the return of unpaved roads. ... in the coming years we'll see more and more roads returning to gravel, as it was commonplace in the Western World up to about 50 years ago.
