Box H Roanoke Rapids, NC 27870 Phone: 252-536-2574 Fax: 252-526-4940 Introduction _____________________________________________________________ This Road Surface Guide is to help determine the suitability of pavements for the application of ATM Marking Tapes. It describes a wide variety of pavement conditions from newly treated to severely distressed and a recommendation for application of ATM Marking Tapes. Further Information For more information or road conditions not covered in this guide, please contact Advance Traffic Markings, 252-536-2574. How to Use This Guide _____________________________________________________________ The first part of this guide describes common surfaces and gives application recommendations for them. The remaining pages describe distressed surfaces with visual examples. This guide also addresses applications over oil drip zones and existing markings. The distress pages are formatted as follows: Type of Distress – The name or type of distress as it is commonly known. Description – A brief description of the distress and its most common physical appearance. Application Recommendations – Recommendations for the application of Advance Traffic Markings Pavement Marking Tapes. This is the recommendations for the distressed or affected portion of the road. A more complete examination of the entire roadway and types of other distresses should also be considered when using this guide. Asphalt Surfaces _____________________________________________________________ There are different types and textures of asphalt surfaces in which markings are applied. They vary greatly from one place to another. This is mainly due to the fact that some states have different standards than others and sometimes rely on what is locally available.

  • Surface Pavement Materials Used Ion Urban Areas
    Session 4 - Specific techniques and innovation Paper : Pavement surface materials used in urban areas Authors : Egbert BEUVING (EAPA) - Netherlands Jean-Paul MICHAUT (COLAS) - France Pavement surface materials used in urban areas -The range of urban materials- Egbert Beuving (EAPA) and Jean-Paul Michaut (COLAS) Summary A wide variety of pavement surface materials have been used in urban areas. The choice of the surface material depends on a range of rational and irrational arguments. In former days the availability of the materials was a dominant factor. Nowadays a broad scale of materials is available and functional requirements play an important role in the decision for a certain pavement type and surface layer now. The materials available are: • Bituminous bound materials (asphalt concrete, mastic asphalt) • Cement bound materials (concrete, concrete elements) • (Small) paving elements (block pavers, modular materials, stone, terracotta) • Composite pavements (a combination of the above mentioned ones) In urban areas there is a wide variety of pavement users, as there are: pedestrians, wheelchair- users, parents with prams, roller-skates, bicyclists, scoot-mobiles, motorists, passenger cars and trucks. The choice of the surface material depends on the (functional) requirements. Some of these requirements are the same as for highways; other ones might depend on the local situation. Additional requirements for urban areas might be a certain surface texture or colour for a certain image, easy to repair to guarantee the accessibility of houses, shops and other buildings, noise reducing, open for water infiltration, smooth to avoid vibrations and easy to open for accessing sewerage, gas and water systems. There might also be a need for flexible materials for creating ramps, roundabouts, cables and wiring.

Abstract (Limit: 200 words) Recent changes in laws regarding the use of volatile organic compounds will impact the type of pavement marking material that many communities use to mark/delineate their roads. This report presents information on the various types of pavement marking materials available. It is intended to provide readers with sufficient data to make educated decisions regarding the selection of an appropriate pavement marking material. The report pulls together information on pavement marking material terminology, the various types of pavement marking materials, their durability and their retroreflectivity. Changes in formulas relating to laws regulating the use of volatile organic compounds are explained, as well as the impacts of those changes. Additionally, there is a list of best management practices that can be implemented to enable an agency or community to get the most value for its money.

  • Particulate Matter from the Road Surface Abrasion As a Problem of Non-Exhaust Emission Control
    Review Particulate Matter from the Road Surface Abrasion as a Problem of Non-Exhaust Emission Control Magdalena Penkała 1, Paweł Ogrodnik 2 and Wioletta Rogula-Kozłowska 2,3,* 1 The State School of Higher Education, 54 Pocztowa St., 22-100 Chełm, Poland; [email protected] 2 The Main School of Fire Service, Faculty of Fire Safety Engineering, 52/54 Słowackiego St., 01-629 Warsaw, Poland; [email protected] 3 Institute of Environmental Engineering, Polish Academy of Sciences, 34 M. Skłodowskiej-Curie St., 41-819 Zabrze, Poland * Correspondence: [email protected] or [email protected]; Tel.: +48-225-617-553 Received: 27 October 2017; Accepted: 5 January 2018; Published: 7 January 2018 Abstract: Along with house heating and industry, emissions from road traffic (exhaust and tire, brake, car body or road surface abrasions) are one of the primary sources of particulate matter (PM) in the atmosphere in urban areas. Though numerous regulations and vehicle-control mechanisms have led to a significant decline of PM emissions from vehicle exhaust gases, other sources of PM remain related to road and car abrasion are responsible for non-exhaust emissions. Quantifying these emissions is a hard problem in both laboratory and field conditions. First, we must recognize the physicochemical properties of the PM that is emitted by various non-exhaust sources. In this paper, we underline the problem of information accessibility with regards to the properties and qualities of PM from non-exhaust sources. We also indicate why scarce information is available in order to find the possible solution to this ongoing issue.
