To keep the centerline in the middle of the road, the second pass
will have to be set up with Sonic Control on each side of the paver.
The left tracker will match the lip of the curb and the right side
tracker will follow the new mat (Figure 7-9). The cross will not be
consistent on this side of the roadway, but the joints will match.

The curb elevations can be easily spot checked using a fast leveling
RL-HB rotating laser. Set the laser at the lip of one curb, then use
the detector and a folding rule to take a reading on the other curb
(Figure 7-10). Spot check every 25-50 feet by just moving the laser.
