As I recall the biggest enemy of asphalt (aside from base failure) is
NOT enough use. You need traffic to keep the asphalt flexible. Otherwise
the material starts to dry out, then crack, then the base fails, etc.
It's pretty hard to wear the surface before it fails due to cracking and
base failure.
