A surface treatment applied to asphalt streets consisting of spraying an asphalt emulsion road oil at a rate of .35 gallons per square yard from an oil distributor truck. Then a uniform application of 3/8” oil coated limestone rock chips is immediately applied by a self-propelled chip spreader. The aggregate is then rolled as soon as possible by a rubber tired roller, to ensure the adhesion of the aggregate to the binder and pavement surface. This process has multiple benefits in that it seals out water from penetrating the road structure, seals cracks and raveled surfaces of older pavements, provides an anti-glare surface during wet weather, an increased reflective surface for night driving, provides a highly skid resistant wearing course surface and is cost effective.
