Those don't look very different from chip seal roads. When they lay down smooth new pavement, people will go out of their way to ride it, but Seattle's streets look like they've survived a war complete with bombing raids. Are yours smooth like glass? If so, you want to put me up for a visit?
It's exceptionally rare for me to be on a road where I can't tell a night and day difference when I hop in to the right wheel track of the automobile lane - that's an easy way to demonstrate how bumpy even a "good" road is.
