Title: bridge pavement grooving, which type is best?
Post by: InterstateGuy on April 05, 2017, 11:18:59 AM
I know this has been a topic that has been discussed before but i am curious as to know which type of concrete grooving you prefer on bridges. in NY we now use Longitudinal, used to be latitudinal. My car kind of gets bumpy going northbound on the Longitudinal grooving on the Robert Moses Causeway as opposed to the latitudinal southound lanes which makes the cool tie fighter jet type of noise. Is latitudinal in your opinion better than longitudinal? Which keeps the car more stable (from your own experiences)?
