A lot of road damage in some parts of the world is caused by nature itself, though. Even roads without any freight traffic get frost heaves.

But for Australia specifically (this article being about Australia), frost damage to roads is typically either non-existent or negligible. There aren’t many roads that are exposed to substantially freezing conditions often.

I have had bitumen melt onto my shoes in summer though.

Mountain highways I've traveled have substantially more damaged right lanes from all the semis.
