Why Japanese Roads Feel So Smooth.

Transcript

This is why Japanese roads are often considered some of the best in the world. The reason is simple. They don't focus on building roads as fast as possible. They focus on making them last for years. First, they install a strong base layer that's nearly 12 inches thick. This layer is built to handle the constant pressure from vehicles over tier. Then they add about two inches of asphalt on top. That makes the surface smoother and gives drivers a more comfortable ride. But the most important part comes next. At every stage of construction, workers inspect the road's smoothness, the compaction of the base layer, and the quality of the asphalt. They don't let even tiny defects slide. Japan also uses special sealing treatments that close tiny gaps in the asphalt. That strengthens the road structure and helps it last much longer.
