My county just finished repaving a 2.5-mile stretch of road I use on my commute. Very, very nice.
The new pavement is actually reflecting a good bit of sunlight, and when I'm riding with polarized lenses the whole street turns into a textureless expanse of dark gray. I spent some time at a stop light taking the glasses off, then putting them back on, to make sure I wasn't going crazy. I've never seen that sort of profound lighting effect before.
