I could feel the heat coming off it when I stood next to the repaved section. They didn’t repave the parking area at the edge. Opened to traffic again, seems firm enough to drive on at 160⁰F.

    Neat, you can also see where people’s tyres have absorbed some of the heat.

      Lol, no. Tires momentarily contacting hot asphalt while rolling on it will not significantly lower the surface temperature of hot asphalt. The road paving process produces T⁰ unevenness while spreading asphalt … notably because of flow of asphal from the uneven T⁰ in truck loads waiting typically 1 hour before being dumped … then carateristincs of flow in the paving machine … and … civil ing. … whatever.
