During the early and mid-20th century when town gas dey produced, coal tar dey readily available as byproduct and e dey extensively used as the binder for road aggregates. The addition of tar to macadam roads make people dey call am tarmac, wey people dey use now now to refer to road-making materials.

Pitch na another term wey sometimes dey used to refer to asphalt/bitumen, as in Pitch Lake.```
