This Pavement Work Tip details techniques to ensure that joints in asphalt do not create a point of weakness due to poor compaction and that correct shape and ride quality are maintained.

This Work Tip details work practices that help ensure uniformity of Binder Application Rates and neatness of joints in sprayed seals.

This Pavement Work Tip considers traffic distribution and its effect on the suitable location of joints and where the design Binder Application Rates should be varied to allow for the expected traffic volume.
