Rebar missing.......?
No reinforcement?
I always guarantee 2 things when I pour concrete.
It will crack, and I do not know where.......
Sounds like land movement......Is water a problem.....
Drainage?
Lots going on, and no real "quick fix"
Is it on a grade or slope?
What about a retaining wall to slow it.....
too many what ifs.....

There has been an ever widening crack running the width of my maybe
15' from the edge of the road. Over the years it has shown up as
perhaps a ¼" crack. I've relentlessly filled it with the rubber
compound (Ace hardware no-name brand) that comes in a caulk-like tube.
I've just assumed that the crack is a small amount because of
continual movement and mostly because of the rubber compound drying,
because if it were primarily movement over the years the crack would
be well over an inch and a half wide by now with most of it filled
with rubber.
But now it's suddenly ½ " wide. Things are getting worse---what is
likely going on?
-- *Primarily* --> What is a sensible stop-gap crack-filler for this?
It is exceeding the maximum ratings for the rubber compound that I can
find at the hardware store.
THANKS

Mix up some cookie dough and fill the crack.

the roads owner, may be interested things are suddenly moving.
water line below may be leaking etc etc.
theres no harm in calling the municipality and they may send out a
truck with liquid asphalt to seal the crack
theres no harm in trying

When the patch gets as big as the driveway you wont need to resurface it
