Actually witnessed something almost this bad once.

lolololol

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NOAA-19

While the turn-over cart used during the procedure was in storage, a technician removed twenty-four bolts securing an adapter plate to it without documenting the action. The team subsequently using the cart to turn the satellite failed to check the bolts, as specified in the procedure, before attempting to move the satellite.[11] Repairs to the satellite cost $135 million. Lockheed Martin agreed to forfeit all profit from the project to help pay for repair costs; they later took a $30 million charge relating to the incident. The remainder of the repair costs were paid by the United States government.[12]

I did something, in my mind, that stupid once, but not really. I drove over fresh asphalt that my employer paid for. The good thing was that it was still warm and the rollers were still compressing it -- it was already really compressed by that point. Never heard back about it or noticed any defects (no one even told me actually, I just realized it years later), but it probably would have been better if I didn't.

I thought asphalt is almost immediately ready-to-go after the steam roller is done. I guess maybe you'd have to worry about melting your tires.

Indeed - once rolled, it's safe to drive on.

At least, perhaps it depends upon the exact properties of the compound.

The street I used to live on had been undergoing pavement work with asphalt, and once day, I had to go to work right after they were pressing either a layer or the final layer of asphalt. The crew was nearby, so as I was walking to my vehicle, I asked one of the crewman if it was safe to drive on. He didn't even hesitate with a response, and they walk on it too.
I inspected my tires and never saw any issue - perhaps some tar around the wheel well, though I cannot recall.

It might be warm, but it's not piping hot. Perhaps middle-of-the-summer blacktop warm, perhaps a touch warmer, so I wouldn't go racing down freshly paved roadways for hours on end - tire wear would probably be far faster, but you wouldn't be otherwise damaging either the tire or road surface.

You are ok to cross it after initial rolling, just don't attempt to stop on it without damaging your tires and the asphalt mat. It's typically 260-300 degrees F at placement for highway projects. It might not completely melt your tires, but it will definitely damage them.

Ah, thanks.

Of course, I have no idea if residential street projects (truly residential, within a grid between thru-way streets) have different temperatures and materials.

No, it's got to cool down. A car might not damage it but a truck would.
