Dust Nuisance Tackled by Tar Spraying in Bristol
During a Bristol visit, insights from the Bristol Municipal Council show tar spraying on macadam roads reduces dust and improves road cleanliness. A heavy traction engine applied tar at five miles per hour, followed by sand to allow immediate use. Saving estimates reach £23 per mile after a few years, with 71 miles costing £3468 for tar treatment versus £4118 yearly for watering.
