In the UK we call this 'Surface Dressing' and is a typical money saving meaasure to avoid the full cost of paving the road properly. It looks terrible and doenst last very long, so peronsally I dont see the point.
I would prefer that over here in slovenia.... instead, we can't repave a street without digging a few meters deep, finding ancient roman remains, and delaying the repair for many months... heck, even without finding roman stuff, we had an 800m long road closed for 2 years...
So yeah, it's either potholes or road closure for a year++.
Nope, thats the cheap way to save money in the short term. But it makes the roads much worse quality for a lot longer. The surface dressing rips and pulls up very quickly, and so the road is rough and full of holes for a longer period.

If it's cheap and fast, then there's no reason to wait to do it "properly" later. Do the quick fix first.
