Tricky, because the glare comes from the film of water on the road, not the road material itself. You would need a way of dispersing the water film. |
|

That's what potholes are for |
|
| |
Yeah, whatever you put on the road, the water will just sit on top of it. Put your Polaroids on. |

I can turn off the sun for you if you want, thcgenius. |

An uneven road surface would be very noisy, if you tried to do it with some kind of corrugation, ridges or grooves. |
|
| |
Make the grooves parallel to the direction of travel. Unless you're changing lanes or merging or something, this should be almost as quiet as flat roads. |
|
| |
Actually, a special road surface material could work, if it was either very hydrophobic (increase run-off) or absorbent (wicks water away). |
|

As DrC suggested, a better idea would be to wear polarising shades. These selectively filter out reflected light. A polarising windscreen is possible, but it's much more costly and would be AS1 non-compliant. |

//making the centre of the road ... higher than the outsides//
That's called "camber", and roads have had it since the Romans. |
|
| |
No grooves please, they make motorcycling just a little too exciting. Why not add millions of tiny holes, with a drainage layer underneath. The water will simply soak through the road. |
