USE OF A SPRINKLE TREATMENT TO PROVIDE SKID RESISTANT PAVEMENTS
THIS PAPER DESCRIBES THE PROCEDURES AND RESULTS OF EXPERIMENTAL SPRINKLE TREATMENTS PLACED ON VIRGINIA ROADS CARRYING MODERATE TRAFFIC. POLISH RESISTANT AGGREGATES, COATED WITH MC-70 CUTBACK ASPHALT, CAN BE SPRINKLED ONTO A HOT LIMESTONE, ASPHALTIC CONCRETE PAVEMENT AND THEY WILL ADHERE SUFFICIENTLY TO IMPART A HIGH DEGREE OF PERMANENT SKID RESISTANCE. THE WHIRLY SPREADER, USED FOR SPREADING DEICING CHEMICALS, WILL DO A SATISFACTORY JOB IF THE SPREADING UNIT IS OPERATED FROM ITS OWN MOTOR. SKID NUMBERS CAN BE OBTAINED THAT ARE SIMILAR TO THOSE OBTAINED WHEN THE ENTIRE PAVEMENT IS MADE FROM THE SPRINKLE MATERIAL. /AUTHOR/
