I shared something about Plasti-dipping roads.

I do not understand why solar parking is so scarce here in Arizona, but covered roads would be a different complication. Of course, they would need to be angled, so unless you have one giant piece, it would not necessarily provide shade or protection from rain (or snow).

I am sure this would cost less than solar roads, though, and you would not have semis and cars with radials poking out of tires.

Edit: I missed that they specified the test project was 2,800 mē, so 1,785.71€ per mē! $189.67 per square foot. I added this to the original post.
