Our town doesn’t have street sweepers of any kind....
DevilsArsehole
In Seville they had guys pressure washing the street in the morning, it was immaculate.

That's like saying someone is kind because not punching people atm

Sadly, in today's world that is considered kindness.

driver did it wrong, you suppose too turn up the pressure and knock him on his ass.

That's nice. I don't think the roads around here get washed.
mercbrit
Is it effective though or does it just create a slippery surface?
LilBoyFarquaad
It gets dry in 5min
How far can you skid in 5 mins?
krauraurgg
Depending on the climate, it may not be necessary. In a place that gets a lot of rain, nature takes care of it.

Plot twist: he put them near the road to be washed

Being kind ≠ Not being an asshole
TrueNorthernLights
Somwtimes it's hard to tell nowadays.
Well, in this case it did take a little extra effort and required the driver to be paying extra attention, so I think OP gets a pass here.
Billy2sweet
I'm a nice asshole.
LosPer
It may not be kind, but it was thoughtful and considerate...
SterlingArcherSecretAgent
Right. In some cases it is both though.
LazyBunnyKiera
Are they washing the roads? won't rain do that to a degree? Or are they spraying the roads for another reason?
Fedotia
Gravel and sand on the road is a hazard for motorbikes.
YouMayFeelAPinch
Don't forget the dust and molecules
ManOfKent1967
And rain water contains particulates that causes algae formation.
ThelmaTidwell
If it’s been awhile since it’s rained, they’ll wash roads here. Otherwise, when it rains the roads get super slick due to oil etc. from cars
MiguelConQueso
I spent a couple months in Albania where they also do this. Supposed to help keep dust down and provide some jobs to communities
kemonei
Taking into account the looks...I bet it’s a very dry place. Grease/oil/slicky stuff likely builds up on road surface and never gets...
Washed away. My bet is it’s some sort of bio friendly degreaser (maybe) so the roads aren’t a slick track at the slightest add of water.
MonkeyHittingPianoDramatically
Bio friendly.... having high hopes today arent we
Exactly why I plugged in that (maybe)! Lol

It's also meant to cool the concrete to prevent melting and deterioration. Doesn't really work
COTTONCOOKIECLICKER
Were I work they do this to minimize the potential releases of radioactive alpha particles.
AgamemnonsMemes
Is australia over summer with no rain, the dirst hinr of moisture the roads get really bad from all the dust and so its good to spray down
Begotten
The thirsty asphalt needs moisture to stay succulent
TheWorldsGreatestPlagueDoctor
For some reason thinking that asphalt is succulent gives me shivers
coffingirl
Do they not wash roads where you are in the spring lol
ThrowMamaFromTheTrain
No
It rains somewhat frequently during the spring where i live. We have a couple dirty roads, but we try not to be prejudice.
TristanEngelbertVanBevervoorde
They don't, that's what the rain does.
They do here in Canada. Lol
lol
aPokal
It's probably a region where rain isn't a occasional weather, but a season. Means also there is a season of not raining.
Mumalot
They're spraying to ensure the asphalt harvest...
TheImmaculateDrunk
Some places spray a solution on the roads before snow/ice to make it easier to plow and aid in melting.
joid75
Yeah, but I doubt that in this case snow/ice has anything to do with it.
Maybe not, but what I'm saying is there are a number of reasons a gov't could be taking measures to protect their infastrstructure.
In the UK we keep our skid pans off the main highway as this public education film explains.

That's still a thing. I get made to show it to my classes when they get old enough. I find it fckin pointless
And they don't warn you. There was a girl in my class that lost her aunt and uncle in a crash. Now she has visuals to remember that with.
