What is the fascination with grooved pavement on TV Highway?

It seems like once a year, somebody (the highway department?  teenage
pranksters?  aliens?) goes through and grooves the pavement on
sections of TV Highway more or less at random between Murray Road and
Hillsboro.  It then sits that way for months before anybody comes
along and repaves it.

Why?  If it's preparation for resurfacing, it would seem like it would
only stay that way for a little while before they take care of it.  If
it's supposed to help with traction, then why aren't all the roads
that way?  If it's to get people to slow down, why not just put a few
speed traps out there?

I don't understand.
