Could be. The road wasn't in the process of being resurfaced, however. The "stuff" was laid right on top of the perfectly decent asphalt, which I happen to know is less than 10 years old, because I was around well before it was. It's the only road surface I've seen this done on around here in the 17+ years I've lived in this state.
If it was the bitumen stuff, I'm guessing that is sticky like roofing tar. In which case I nearly pooped my pants for nothing.

I think it still was a wise choice to avoid it at all costs.
Can you imagine the effort it would take to clean off spattered liquid road tar from the visible areas as well as the recesses of the CB?
