2022 Road Reseal Programme Set to Start
Stay safe
For your own safety, the safety of the workmen and to protect the new seal, please observe the speed limit Even when there is no activity at the site if there are warning signs in place please take care as the carriageway may be prepared for the reseal or the reseal recently completed. The signs will not be removed until the surplus chip has been lifted and the road markings reinstated.
The new seal remains susceptible to damage for many weeks after the reseal. Care is needed to ensure that there is not sharp turning of heavy vehicles, strong acceleration, etc. as these actions will cause damage to the new seal.
- The workers will be doing everything possible to make sure this work is completed safely but you can help by:
- standing well back from the action and following any directions from the workers
- warning your children of the dangers and making sure they take care
- keeping pets away from the area while the work is in progress
Check your shoes
So you don’t trek dirt, bitumen or sticky little stones from the site, avoid walking on recently sealed surfaces. If you can’t avoid it, make sure you check your shoes or take them off before you go inside. You may also want to check them before you get into your car.
