Yeah, but they only did like half of the 2.5-3 mile long road. Why stop half way? Just seems to be dumb shit to me.

I don't know, man, I didn't do it.
Hell, here sometimes it seems like they leave the straight sections of some fun roads alone and only dump fresh chip seal in the corners just to screw with riders.

Fixed. In towns that do it right, they sweep it after it sits for a couple days. They don't do that here so that shot just sits there making roads treacherous as all hell.

They just fucked up this road near me. It looks like they tried to use a tiller on the damn thing but I think it is in prep to pour new pavement. I found it kind of fun when I was riding on it.

Fresh tar snakes are the devil.
