Without it, cars would be flying off the road like the rocks might be in ten years or so :) Good luck guys…Just FYI, the “rock coat” Frustrated taxpayer refers to is called FC-5…it’s a hotmix asphalt design that allows water to penetrate the surface, reach the smooth intermediate asphalt layer, and leach out to the edges of the roadway…just a safety feature that allows better traction in wet conditions.
