RE: Concrete Asphalt Paving
If you mill against traffic (going upstream) the dump has to cross oncoming traffic to get to the miller and to leave. Each truck has to completely stop traffic in both directions to do so.
If you mill with traffic, the dump just pulls out of traffic, then pulls back in, and only disrupts traffic moving in one direction.
"...students of traffic are beginning to realize the false economy of mechanically controlled traffic, and hand work by trained officers will again prevail." - Wm. Phelps Eno, ca. 1928
