Chip seal does work well if prepared properly beforehand. It is designed to last 4-6 years, and basically is a much cheaper bandaid until the funds come through to properly rebuild it. It really helps fill the cracks, keeping them from wreaking havoc in the freeze/thaw cycles. Now a road can be paved nicely with a good thick layer, and have a good base, but we have done studies along with many other MI counties, and a fully loaded 10,000 gallon liquid manure tanker, hauled singly, let alone doubles as many like to do, can destroy the base of a class A road in 35 or less trips during spring thaws (exempt from frost laws in MI). Their width usually puts the outside tire right on the edge of the road, pushing the base out from under it, pushing the pavement down, and making a berm along the edge of the road. Water lays in wheel tracks of pavement and is held their by berm made from road base, and water soaks under road, causing a vicious cycle. Paved roads with a good base with low amounts of heavy vehicle traffic can, and do last a long time, even if only paved a few inches thick. Like 30 years long time. You still will get potholes that need to be patched here and there, but that is a given.
