It's code. If you follow it you end up at a dogging spot. Don't believe me? I've followed the one by ours every night for 18 months and it's always a dogging spot.

Ah now I understand the earlier dog ownership question.

Oh so I was right not to understand it the first time, thanks.

Overload, heavy tarmac vehicles.

Some enormous tractors do pull big sheep trailers along there.

Ha, pretty sure it's not that Picture, thousand words etc:

Theyre going to plane the road surface before laying new asphalt. The cut starts on the line and continues in the direction indicated.

Definitely "overlay" suggesting they will plane out a 40mm to 0mm chase over approx 10m then lay 40mm of Hot Rolled Asphalt over the old road. If it's Warwickshire it will be HRA55/10f....

You dont see much hot roll now. Will they have a chipper pulled by the paver too?

Even in Warwickshire it’s unlikely they’ll try chipping HRA55/10……..

It'll probably be SMA not HRA nowadays, if it's a full resurface. However if it's anything like Cumbria CC, they'll put down whatever they can get, in a lumpy mess, forget to roll it up and put overbanding on. Then worry why it need redoing in a couple of years.

I dont disagree at all, but there are still some local authorities who use hot roll instead of SMA.
