It seems to me that if you are intent on putting a road through an area that is prone to lava flows, in a lot of cases it would be best to put it right on top of the most recent flow. Especially in flat, level areas.
In these areas the flow tends to inflate and reach substantial thicknesses. So wouldn’t a subsequent flow tend to go alongside the previous one, rather than on top of it?
I know there are plenty of variables and these are just my ramblings, but don’t you think there might be more to the decision than “easier to grade”?
