The very idea of licking roads clean! That implies that they were
surfaced - if you tried that where I was, you would have had to
lick down to the bedrock.


Returning to a more 'factual' comment. At the Historic Motor Museum at
Gaydon (which is a circular building), all around the outside edge of the
ground floor, is the history of the motor car and road surface. Starting
with dusty tracks and with the appropriate cars on them, leading up to
present day, through road signs or the era, MOT's etc etc etc. Makes very
interesting viewing
