In TxDOT research project 0-7029, the research team at the Texas A&M Transportation Institute investigated the impact of sequential seal coats, seal coat grade type, and other factors on rumble strip performance. The key recommendations from the study, presented in this document, can guide TxDOT engineers about whether seal coat should be placed over an existing rumble strip.
The objective of this study was to determine how many layers of seal coat (i.e., chip seal) can be applied before rumble strip performance is compromi
