Healing Asphalt: Porous Pavement with a Longer Lifespan

We all deal with road surfaces in various states of (dis)repair.  Cracking and potholes are annoying at best, damaging to our cars at worst. 

There are 4.09 million miles of road in the United States, with the vast majority of those paved surfaces under local jurisdictions. Municipal budgets have withered to dust across the country but constituents want the roads fixed.  What to do?

Porous pavement has a solid fanbase for many reasons, though it has it's own problems.  But check this out...Pavement Healing...it's awesome.  Of course it's in The Netherlands but hey, if it works there, why not here?
