Highly Visible Pavement Markings---More safely pavement
Your asphalt paving project will be smoother than other alternatives. It will be more skid resistant (higher friction number) because it uses hard, durable aggregates. With good drainage and a good mix, your asphalt paving project will be an excellent, safe, all weather driving surface. If you choose one of the new textured (open-graded) surfaces (friction course), your asphalt paving project will also reduce the amount of splash and spray during rainstorms, greatly improving driver visibility. The black surface also helps in the visible delineation of lanes and pavement markings.
During construction, shorter lane closures also mean greater safety for workers and vehicles traveling through the work zone. (To say nothing of the stress associated with long, long traffic delays in work zones.)
