Now this is really "out of the box thinking".
Talk about an interesting idea! Fascinating concept.

Ah...but it will be. There's no way for the politicians to make any money on it. Besides...who's gonna clean the glass?

I'm just wondering how durable the stuff really is. Will it take a jack-knifed semi dumping a D-9 Cat off on it at 80mph?
Might be a viable alternative for city streets, imo, but most cities couldn't afford the initial investment, anyway....and, the local politicians couldn't make much money off it unless they owned the contracting company....
