as far as concrete,on my old street we had it(1400 block of spaulding)and from what i understand its always used on freeways because it lasts longer,and it continues to harden with age.the reason why you dont see tons of cracks in it is because of the "lines" that are put into the concrete before it dries.speaking of windsor park/country club area,did you know the la railway has tracks still covered up in that area.

There are covered-up LARy tracks all over town (or at least there were when I was living out there (been gone 12 1/2 years now)). You could see them on Pico, from Broadway (where the P line turned) until they abruptly ended just east of Flower St (where they were torn out for construction of the Metro Blue Line). Think I saw them on 6th St at Alvarado (the old 3 line). Basically, they were just covered up, and unless there was a big street project that required the street to be torn up completely (sewer lines, etc.), they remain for the most part.
