Not washing a street won't magically make it unsafe. California has the highest traffic rates in the world and we have never washed a single road. I'm thinking it was politician fearmongering that lead to water being wasted like this.

Rainwater is drinking water. Drinking water is used to clean the streets. Lead, rubber, dirt and tar dust contaminate the drinking water. It's now dirtywater and gets dumped in the ocean. Hurray for the infinite supply of clean water! ...wait a second...

Concrete will outlast asphalt for decades and has a higher load strength. Niriel probably lives in a area with much greater semi truck traffic than matthewg. Both concrete and asphalt are here in LA county, but concrete is slowly replacing the asphalt.
