Curve in the road
Curve in the road
(OP)
Cars keep leaving the road tangentially when driving conditions are poor. Also the road is surrounded by blueberry fields. These are economically valuable fields that are sensitive to salt wash. Make reccommendations on how to make this road safer for the travelling public.





RE: Curve in the road
Check advance warning signs. Add chevrons or delineators if needed. Is advisory speed correct? Are all signs in good condition, properly placed and retroreflective at night?
Check superelevation of road and correct if needed. Check pavement for polished aggregate or bleeding asphalt.
Salt wash? Do you mean problems occurr during ice & snow?
Calibrate spreaders on snow plows to better control amount of salt used. If crop damage is severe, investigate using acetates (CMA) rather than chlorides. Sand won't help - it's mixed w/ 10% salt to keep it from freezing, and you need almost 10 times as much. Also, the sand wash will clog drainage and affect soil, too.
