During hot mix asphalt (HMA) construction and rehabilitation, partially completed pavements are often opened to
;
traffic between construction periods. This results in transverse dropoffs at the transition between pavements of
;
different elevations. Caltrans follows the common practice of constructing transverse tapers (or wedges) of hot mix
;
asphalt between the different pavement levels.
