from talking to a buddy that specializes in this poo poo its a situation wherein people did say this could happen, but even a lot of the experts are being surprised how fast it is occurring. What we are seeing is the worst case scenarios in papers from 90s. cool poo poo all around

they spec their asphalt pavements for seven-day average maximum pavement temperatures of 160-170f. this usually requires mixing some kind of modifier into the tar when it's produced (usually a rubber like SBS, ground tires, or latex)

it always astounds me how, in dangerous situations where you need quick reflexes to avoid death, people pretty normally just do the worst thing.

"oh no rocks are falling off the hill and careening down onto the road where i currently am! better stop and wait for that to finish"

If you do something and it turns out you made the wrong decision you have to take responsibility for that. Best to hunker down and wait. Don't ever take any kind of proactive action.
