Fog Seal<br />

Where to Use?<br />

Pavement Location<br />

• Travel Lanes – Highways & Secondary<br />

• Shoulders<br />

Color delineation for safety<br />

• Airfields<br />

Several agencies reported they have reduced the need for shoulder reconstruction<br />

with a regular schedule of shoulder fog seals. If there is sufficient color contrast<br />

between the travel lane and shoulder, fog seals can also improve nighttime visibility.<br />

With no traffic, maintaining friction is much less critical. However, the surface does<br />

not densify as it would under traffic, so pavement permeability is typically higher.<br />

Therefore, emulsion application rates for shoulders are typically higher than those<br />

for adjacent travel lane.<br />
