What if asphalt primer and/or rocks get onto my driveway or sidewalk?
Control of this loose material in these areas is reduced by use of qualified application companies, proper application and restricted traffic on fresh surfaces. However, occasionally it does happen. We ask that you sweep it back into the street so that street sweepers can clean it up. The asphalt primer may stain surfaces and have a sticky characteristic but in time, it will usually wear off, although in some cases it will permanently stain surfaces. This is one of the reasons we ask that the road be restricted to traffic use. There is no method to speed up the proper curing process. Most times cautious, slow, attentive and restricted use will reduce this condition. Dependent upon the work schedule, material in curbs and other “loose” material will be removed by the contractor in a day or two.
