Would it be advantageous to build roads entirely out of metal?

No problem, just need smaller wheels whilst also making the road surface tiny.

There are many options that last longer, are cheaper, look better, ... than pure asphalt or pure concrete, but in an effeminate society this doesn't matter.

Road construction seems like a good candidate for automation.

Material costs are low due to most materials being recyclable. Most jobs are not overly complicated if only resurfacing the road / not doing a full replacement.

They could just have robots out resurfscing roads all the time and cut out the union guys. This would do wonders for road quality in northern blue states where roads tend to look worse than the ones in Baghdad.

Most stuff that worked so far were based on adding something to asphalt or changing how it's built.

Recycling always triggered some people so it never had enough funding or interest until a few decades ago, now what is becoming possible with recycling is beyond what was expected and cheap energy (if goyim is allowed to use it) would bring new possibilities to it.

I can tell you as a motorcyclists that all metal road coverings are really slippery. even when its dry and warm, they are still the slickest part of the road.
Manhole covers, construction plates, sewer caps, all of it. Even this stuff gets EXTREMELY slippery when its wet, or even just with the wrong tires. I think it would have to be like a cheese grater cut to get good traction and then it would literally shred my body if I crash

OP here. Ideally the road plates will be coated with anti-skid paint. This will make road plates equivalent or better than asphalt in terms of traction and heat conductivity.

A suspension bridge near my house covered the wooden decking in this sandpaper paint and it all rubbed off within 2 years. This is on a quiet rural road as well. So basically unless you're willing to pay an colossal army of workmen to repaint your entire road network every six months your road accident figures are going to be like india

Asphalt isn't even a solid.
Which means its possible to reflow it live with just a mobile furnace and a road roller.
There is no real alternative to asphalt, because it can be reflowed.

For this exact same use, there's concrete.

For less busy streets or shorter diatances, there's stabilized gravel, maybe you can improve those caveman roads somehow (and both can be reassembled depending on how it was built), ... this thing:

Rubber pavements are already used in some USA states, I don't know if they solved those problems.

You have to take into account the amount of traffic, which can result in very infrequent or frequent necessary maintenance, how much you can save by switching to other materials and many other parameters to consider.
