ADVANTAGES /
Less durability than other paving methods Stone pavement is preferred for its durability.
DISADVANTAGES
Relatively low initial cost compared with other Easier and less frequent maintanance, due to its
paving methods durability.
The stones can be recycled for the same or other
The tendency to become slick and soft in hot purposes should the need arise at the end of
weather and a certain amount of hydrocarbon pavement life. This is relevant in economic and
pollution to soil and groundwater or waterways environmental terms when comparing waste of
resources in gravel and most bituminous paving.
Less tensile strength than concrete Stone pavement surface limits vehicle speed.
