that's why you start with bike paths and sidewalks. The main issue for my area is the issue they mentioned in the article. our roads have snow/ice on them for 5-6 months a year.
Might be less skid resistant. They are already starting to plastic for bridge decks, they call it FRP. It's nice for design because it's so light weight. Also a big plus is salt won't deteriorate the plastic as it does in steel or traditional reinforced concrete bridges.

The snow/ice is the first thing I thought of as well but would it be any worse than ours now? I think testing it would definitely be in order.

That sounds very interesting. I would love to see new improvements besides just salt which is terrible for cars and the road.
