The highway on which I work was just repaved last year. During the construction one of the wrokers were killed after being struck by an auto. The asphalt was about 24 hours fresh and the temperature was in the 80's. I found NO difference in the old and new friction values. I generally get I value of .81g with the old pavement. This is what I got with the new stuff.
