Road surface dressing works
Road surface dressing seals and waterproofs a road surface, extending its life and providing a non-skid surface. It involves spraying sticky tar-like bitumen binder substance on a clean, dry road surface, over which stone chippings are spread and the surface is rolled to embed the stones into the bitumen. Some loose stones will remain on the road surface for about a week while the weight of vehicles driving over them forces them in to the bitumen to finish the new road surface, followed by various days of sweeping to clear the loose stones and further time to re-install the road markings. This needs to be done during warm, dry weather.
