Traffic usually reacts poorly when mixed with caustic chemicals. Try over in the Civil/Environmental Other Topics forum.
ALso, that's a pretty vague request. Are you reducing the acidity of your garden topsoil? Enjoying it with a little salt and a Dos Equis?
Sorry about the sarcasm. The baby was cranky last night.

Lime treatment (also called lime stabilization)is a method of soil modification to enhance the strength of a soft roadway subgrade. Lime (in apowder or slurry) is incorporated into the soil by disking. the soil is then compacted by rolling. It doesn't improve the long-term strength and it isn't effective with all soils, but in the short term it can provides the stability needed to install the pavement.
