Interviewer instructions

This question asks about the road surface material: In the case that the road
passable by car comes to the village/hamlet, this refers to material of that road surface; in
the case that the road passable by car doesn’t come to the village/hamlet, this refers to the
nearest road.
Asphalt is a hard tar, made with modern construction methods and is of high
quality.
Tar on gravel is usually built with labor-intensive methods and is of poorer quality.
