Paving City Streets with Cross Slope
Another option is to pave the street using cross slope and sonic
control. The tracker is positioned over the lip of gutter on one side
and cross slope is dialed in for the crown on the other. This method
may have to be modified due to the fact that in many cases, the
curbs may be poured at different elevations on either side of the
street. Even though the curb was poured out of tolerance, it may
have passed inspection and the asphalt needs to match the curb and
gutter. If the curbs are at different elevations, it is impossible to
pave a typical design slope on both sides of the street.
A cross section design of a 36 feet wide street with a 2.0% slope
will produce a .36 feet rise at centerline (Figure 7-5).
Figure 7-5. Paving with Cross Slope
If the curbs are at different elevations, a .36 feet rise at centerline
will produce incorrect slopes (Figure 7-6).
