That’s porous asphalt, developed in the Netherlands and used on 90% of the roads here. It is fantastic when it’s raining and it gets damaged really quickly when it’s freezing. In our climate the benefits heavily outweigh the downsides and we just apply a new top layer very often (once every 1 - 5 years).

The potholes here were so big that it burst car tires and dented rims. The idea seems great, but not sure why it was so bad here.
