No idea, I assume it's down to whatever aggregate they are using. You can see quartzy type bits in granite kerbs when they are rough surfaced rather than sliced/polished and they do glitter in sunlight. Asphalt roads are just black sticky stuff holding stones together so probably the same reason. Now if you'd asked me about road markings I could have used one of my favourite words, which is 'Ballotini'. Little glass balls mixed in with the road marking thermoplastic that catch headlight beams at night and reflect it back. When anyone is lining there is always a solidified ooze hanging off the back of the lorry by the boiling pots. I like to snap a piece off to see the little beads. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing it's to make the road surface more resistant to the blistering heat in July and August? It’s usually cullet (crushed glass that couldn’t be recycled) and it makes the road more wear resistant. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then the weather people are putting out snowfall and wind warnings.....seriously.... Fingers crossed that the power does not go out, could be a cold night. We could be buried alive...lol If you don't hear from me again, it's been fun.... 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Fallsalot Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 I'm doing a first aid refresher course today and tomorrow, I got to the training center a little late due to traffic this morning, when i got in the classroom i felt like i should have had a dozen vodkas before arriving to get to the instructors level of enthusiasm i think he'd been on the rubbing alcohol and he didn't stop all day feeling mentally exhausted.LOL 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I done the same many years ago when the pit in Aberfan was open you had to ride up a steep hill with a tight S bend on it, when the coal lorries went up there a shit load of coal slurry would escape from the tippers and cover the road, i came off the bike one day ended up with bent handlebars footrest and bloody fingers on my right hand, so i went down with my angry head on and ripped a new arse hole in the site manager there, i got fuck all for it but the road was clean the next day 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
