Concrete Intersections

R180,00 Incl. VAT

Product Code: TD/C&C/CI
Traffic causes damage to street and road intersection pavements more than at almost any other location. Heavy vehicles stopping and turning can stress the pavement surface severely along the approaches to an intersection. The pavement within the junction (physical area) of an intersection may also receive nearly twice as much traffic as the pavement on the approaching roadways.
