> [@Pewter"](#): > > its for winter tracion & to slow ppl down! they do it in mid-summer, and by that theory is it tough love? In my dealings with fellow members of the human race i’ve found most are far too unintelligent to comprehend loose gravel would equal out to a dangerous situation. So in turn those that are cautious are only so because of the accidents. I know when i was 16 and had to deal with my first tarred and chipped road, i didn’t expect that shit to be as slippery as ice. My theories stand as such. Winter Traction= better organize government (local) spending into more productive things such as enhanced road crews and more trucks that will actually drop the damn plow. Slow people down= well, i don’t exactly have a good answer for this. People won’t slow down on their own so maybe people with more than 2 speeding tickets should be forced to drive a ford to keep their speed under control. :stick: haha ---

Winter Traction= better organize government (local) spending into more productive things such as enhanced road crews and more trucks that will actually drop the damn plow. plowing is the worst thing for any road,parking lot or driveway one little crack hit by a plow will open up to be a pot hole. the tar is suppose to fill in the crack ---

> [@Bswaptcivic"](#): > > I know when i was 16 and had to deal with my first tarred and chipped road, i didn’t expect that shit to be as slippery as ice. It didnt cross your mind that driving on loose gravel at a decent pace would be slippery? :nuts: I’ve seen it a few times, but I’d wish they would always put signs up before you get to the road that it’s recently been tarred/chipped. I understand why they do it, but I’d like to be able to avoid it depending on what i’m driving. ---

I live in West Mifflin and they have absolutely fucked some of the roads here with that tar and chip bullshit. I took my wheels off my Impala for the time being, I didn’t want to take the chance on chipping the chrome. ---

> [@Bswaptcivic"](#): > > **_when i was 16_** keywords, just got my license, never previously dealt with a “tarred and chipped” road. ANd any speed over about 10mph can fuck you big time on a freshly tarred and chipped road. So speed isn’t the only crucial factor here. thus leading to your point, they should put warning signs up letting you know ahead of time so you can decide to take an alternate route if you choose. ---

They’d posted signs on the roads around me saying “Road to be oiled next week”… and the signs stayed there with nothing happening for 3 weeks. So, in effect, every week can be “next week” and you never know when they’d actually do it. Then, when they do, they put up a sign that says “Fresh Oil and Chips”. Which they then leave up until the chips wash away and all that’s left is the “oil” part.
