Chip seal prolonges the useful life of pavements and seals very fine cracks
in pavement before they get large enough for water and vegetation to get
trapped in them. It is a good time for it. It should be done nearly every 5
years.
I know it gets slick in wet conditions, but just giving you a pavement
engineer's perspective. Flame on.

If you wanted to get somewhere and it took you
a long time to get there, would you wanna rush back here?

Although that is true, as some of the roads actually were paved within
the last few years, the road department will argue that this is
preventive. There probably is some merit to that, but how their choices
are made is difficult to determine as there seem to be more deserving
roads for resurfacing. The good news is that it is very small chip
seal, and it is not that bad.

The nimrods that makeup Washington County Road Dept also chipsealed the

that passes through Roy. Yet the fail to repair Evergreen East of the
Hillsboro Airport. The funny thing is: ALl of the aforementioend roads
that were 'fixed' by chipsealing had no problems in the first place.
Well.. outside of the fact that a lot of bicyclists use them on a daily
basis.
