This, you will be delighted to learn, is the process of pitching bitumen onto knackered pavements (US = broken sidewalks) thus putting off the need to repair them properly. It included the advice not to walk or drive on the bitumen for one hour after it had been laid.
My research led me to "φsl,v is the solids fraction of the slurry on a volumetric basis" but to most normal people "slurry" means cow shit.
Yes, OK, fine, feel free to repair the footpaths after last winters ravages but no, I don't need an expensively designed, produced and distributed lealflet when in the past all that was needed was a sign banged up by convicts "Wet Tar, Keep Off".
Scott Andrew,
Welcome.

I have a question on this Banned; is this lazy fix paid for by taxes or the one who resides or does business behind the 'sidewalk'?
Reason for asking; A few years back a few cities here in the U.S. including mine decided to change what used to be considered 'public property', i.e. sidewalks, and their repair into residential and commercial responsibility by fiat meaning the owner had to pay out of pocket for any and all repairs of the 'public' walk.
Hi Chris, sidewalks in my city are the responsbilty of my City Council while the highway (road) is dealt with by my County Council, crazy but true, all of it is paid for by local taxes and subsidy from central Government, ie taxes.
They only use it on pavement roads around here. Check the bottoms of your shoes before you walk into the house.
Where I grew up in South Philadelphia, they use tar on the roofs.
Odie's right, check your shoes...especially on hot days.
