THIS WORK PRESENTS THE CRITERION FOLLOWED IN MEXICO REGARDING THE METHODS TO SELECT THE ROADS THAT MUST BE PAVED WITH SINGLE SURFACE TREATMENTS, WHICH IN GENERAL, ARE THOSE WHERE THE EXPECTED DAILY TRAFFIC IS NOT GREATER THAN ONE THOUSAND VEHICLES OF ALL TYPES, TRAVELLING IN BOTH DIRECTIONS, DURING THE FIRST FIVE YEARS. REQUIREMENTS THAT THE SUBGRADE SHOULD FULFILL ARE POINTED OUT, ALSO THE THICKNESS AND CONDITIONS OF THE SUBBASE AND THE BASE OF PAVEMENTS. THE IMPORTANCE THAT THE IMPREGNATION SPRAYING OF THE PAVEMENT BASE HAS UPON THIS TYPE OF BITUMINOUS SURFACE IS EMPHASIZED, AND THE PERTAINING RECOMMENDATIONS ARE INCLUDED. FINALLY, THOSE CHARACTERISTICS WHICH THE ROCK AGGREGATE MUST SATISFY ARE INDICATED, AS WELL AS THOSE CORRESPONDING TO THE MOST CONVENIENT ASPHALT PRODUCTS. THE PLACING METHODS ARE ALSO DESCRIBED FOR EACH OF THE CONSTRUCTION STAGES OF THIS ECONOMICAL TYPE OF BITUMINOUS SURFACE. /AUTHOR/
