Sounds as good as TFL streets (who maintain the A roads in my area). They spent thousands replacing the pavement on a street near us with a state of the art pavement with different textures near the traffic lights. It was all nice and flat (unlike the pavement it replaced) until three weeks later when they decided that (for the second time in a year) they needed to replace everything on the nearest junction (all the islands, traffic lights, signs and other equipment) and they decided to use the newly laid pavement as a parking place for all the heavy duty builders equipment.
