Question to you - have you ever skated a brand new highway? If not, this is something to be tried some time. It is great fun to go where skaters will probably never venture again after the opening. Super hard tarmac, maybe not the smoothest, but a 15+ meter wide road with neatly painted bright white markings that glitter in sunlight... very close to skater paradise 
It was a great afternoon skate, luckily I remembered to take the camera, so we were able to take some superb shots.
