Speed delays following resealing can lead to traffic build-up and frustrated motorists. But new research has shown that traditional reduced-speed periods can be safely shortened, easing the resealing process for road builders and users.rnIn the past, roads have typically had traffic speed restrictions of 48 hours following resealing. The rationale for speed restrictions is sound, in that a period of lower speeds gives the chipseal time to bed down and set, reducing the possibility of damage to the seal itself, and to vehicle paintwork and windscreens from flying stone chips.
