The Department of Transport and Main Roads in Queensland blamed the situation on the recent variable weather conditions.
They said : no no no we will not take it. This unacceptable. Don't they have opposition parties there. Why blaming the innocent weather. Guess they don't have Mr Lie Momaliedaily.

If this had happened in Nigeria:
people would have blamed the contractor that did the road or

blamed someone for importing substandard Tyres from China or

blaming SON for allowing the fake products to infiltrate the market.

While some will be somewhere blaming village people for WITCHCRAFT. while

Nairaland Scientist wannabes and "I too knows" would divide themselves into subgroups:
Some would concoct some fake scientific principle and blame the reams of the truck or an innocent vulcunizer

Some would blame 'Kazeem' for not balancing and aligning the wheels.

Another Nairaland faction would say the Tyre specs are not suitable for the truck.

Some would say it's because it's Belgium Tyres.

Some would say the owner of the truck doesn't maintain the trucks by not replacing the Tyres when due.
Naija I hail thee.
The dumbest ones would have mentioned Buhari as the reason.

Majority of Nigerian youths brain has also melted. Keep supporting APC and PDP in this defection saga as if they give a damn about you and your hopeless families. Only demented youths will keep supporting their oppressors. Dino Melaye keeps displaying uncountable luxury Cars that can feed a whole local government while you hop on keke napep & okada. They are all friends behind the scenes and won't hesitate to attend each others children weddings irrespective of party differences. Saraki, Buhari and other thieves in NASS and their children can never be broke nor suffer poverty again in life due to the massive looting of our common wealth . Can that be said about you supporting them with hungry belly and empty pockets? Instead of taking our country back from this irresponsible charlatans, Nigerian youths have turned their future to another Messi/Ronaldo argument calling Saraki Goat. At the end of the day, you end up in churches and mosques fasting and praying for miracles and escape route from sufferings inflicted upon you by bad leadership. I just SMH.

this is the most important political message we can preach to the youths now. how anyone can support these thieves still shocks me...they are victims only when the tide isn't in their favour. their first priority is to be elected, 2nd is to be re-elected and third is to fix their person after they have left...

A road in Australia was temporarily closed after heat from the Sun caused the surface of the recently tarred road to melt, coating and destroying the tyres of about 50 drivers.

The Malanda Millaa Millaa Road in North Queensland was resurfaced recently but strong rain and unusually hot weather caused the bitumen to become loose and cracked.



Tyres were stucked in the black, sticky bitumen as some even detached after temperatures rose to about 24.7C (76.4F) on the back of a period of wet weather. A truck even had all of its 34 tyres damaged .





A driver said :


The Department of Transport and Main Roads in Queensland blamed the situation on the recent variable weather conditions.

They said :


The Department of Transport and Main Roads have promised to compensate drivers whose cars and wheels were damaged as soon as possible.

A similar incident happened in January when a road in the southeastern state of Victoria
began to melt after a heatwave with temperatures soaring to about 38C (100.4F).

In some parts of Nigeria, temperatures can go as high as 44 °C (111.2 °F) between March and April while in Jos plateau ,temperature ranges between 21 °C to 25 °C which are cool all year round.

https://autojosh.com/see-what-a-melting-road-did-to-car-tyres-after-an-heavy-rain-and-hot-weather-in-australia/


I dont get it. Please someone lecture me. They said the bitumen on the road started melting at 24.7°C, but here in Katsina, I drove when the temperature was 46°C and nothing happened. Is it that their road was poorly constructed or what?

The internet is a powerful tool and the first step is to make people realize that they are been used as political pawns by the ruling class. How do you bring ignorant people together for awareness? I have taken a step and i hope to see more positiveness from people with huge followership like that coward Tuface you mentioned.

Of all comments, somebody finally spots this. Without knowledge, Nigerians will continue to be gullible. How can they say degree of heat lower than the body temperature is what melt tarred road.

Good observation grin

But please don't talk like illiterate, Google is your FRIEND grin

Average body temperature ranges from 97°F (36.1°C) to 99°F (37.2°C)

In northern part of Nigeria , weather can get uncomfortably hot during the day, even 40 °C (104 °F)

https://www.climatestotravel.com/climate/nigeria

Reason why the road melted has been explained by the OP

After the road was tarred, heavy rain and sun unsettled the still soft bitumen grin

That temperature value is not right. A temperature of 24.7 C (76.4 F) is just about room temperature. In Texas where few of the roads are bitumen/asphalt, summer temperature in day time is around 80 - above 100 F (26.67 - 37.78 C) When rain fall, nothing like that happen.

So, the temperature was likely higher than what is shown. Likely that the 24.7 C is air temperature while the road surface temperature would have been significantly higher than this because asphalt is darker and such does not reflect light but absorb it.

That value was likely air temperature when the incident happened, and the road surface temperature would have been much higher. Remember that asphalt is black coloured.
