Where the roads are paved with toilet paper

GATINEAU, QUE. - In Gatineau, Que., the roads are paved with toilet paper.
Single-ply to be exact.
"If we use two-ply the top layer blows away," road worker James Gaspe told CBC News. "We learned that from experience."
Gaspe is part of an elite highway crew better known as the toilet tissue brigade. They travel around the Gatineau region filling in asphalt cracks. They used to use old-fashioned tar.
But somewhere, somehow, someone came up with the idea of using toilet paper along on top of the tar. Now Gaspe and his crew go through about 48 rolls a day.
Toilet paper is good for two reasons, said Gaspe.
"Mainly it keeps tar off tires when cars go by, but it also keeps it from seeping out on hills," he said.
The downside? It becomes mushy and disappears after the first rain. But by then, the tar has hardened.

Does anyone here ride on this road?

Strange technique, but if it works it works I guess...

ok, thats the third toilet paper thread today 😖

i thought you were joking when i saw the title

LOL! Thats right up north from where I live! 😱

Hey maybe with all the rolls they used they contributed to that guy's murder.

New Jersey should take some notes...

What brand do they use?

I hope it's Northern and not the Bear wiping brand.

You know there's a toilet paper museum....

Wow, that's pretty good, Debs! My bowels were just watering from traversing the web site!

What does wind do to it though?

I go on that highway occasionally, and its a perfectly fine road. It gets torn up by snowchains but its a fine highway.

Well, the drivers are ****ing insane though, but thats the French for ya.

i see only toilet paper threads!
