News flash:  black things get hot in the sunshine.

So that's why you guys like white concrete better.

I've never driven on black concrete, so I can't say which I like better from that perspective.  We were just saying that specifically choosing something that makes pavement hotter than usual probably won't fly in a lot of places.
I get it now. How about if roads were made out of steel?

How about if they were made out of suede-covered birch, or how about if they had a thin coating of lime green enamel, or how about if they had instant potatoes mixed into the sub-grade?

Asphalt heals its cracks faster if it's hotter.

All freeways should be concrete then.
