Yeah, the concrete slabs have all kinds of issues.
They're not very comfortable to drive on, as they tend to shift relative to the neighboring plates. Both warm and cold weather can push 'm up, because the slabs don't have the weight to resist that sort of push.

One of our motorways with continuous concrete, carries the road traffic between Antwerp harbour and Germany - that's a whole lot of trucks.
The asphalted stretches of this motorway have been resurfaced a number of times , the continuously poured concrete soldiers on.
While we don't sand our roads, we salt them, which isn't good for the roads either.
