Tar gives a smooth surface, but is hardly never used by itself. It's 
mixed with gravel, sand, rubber, pulverised glass, some fibers and other 
things to make asphalt.
Asphalt is much more stiff than tar.
That aley is not covered with tar but with croase asphalt.

Sunflowers stems are prety straight, only curving near the flower itself.
