What is the simple sequence of work in road construction?

The simple sequence of work in road construction typically involves the following steps:

. Site Preparation: Clearing the site of vegetation, debris, and obstacles, and grading the land to establish a level surface.

. Earthwork: Excavating and shaping the land to create the desired road profile, including cutting and filling to achieve proper slopes and elevations.

. Subgrade Preparation: Compacting and stabilizing the soil to create a stable foundation for the road. The aim is to achieve good compaction and to achieve the desire MDD (Maximum Dry Density) by ensuring OMC (Optimum Moisture Content) at the time of compaction.

. Base Course Installation: Placing and compacting different layers of suitable materials to form the base of the road, and also to ensure the required compaction.

. Pavement Installation: Applying asphalt or concrete pavement on top of the base course to create the driving surface.

. Surface Treatment: Applying sealants, markings, and other finishing touches like Krebs mediums etc. to the road surface for durability, visibility, and safety.

. Final Inspection and Testing: Conducting thorough inspections and testing to ensure the road meets quality standards and specifications.

. Maintenance and Monitoring: Implementing ongoing maintenance and monitoring programs to preserve the road’s condition and address any issues that arise over time.

im being extremely serious, something needs to be done about the brightness of car headlights, its an active public safety hazard. and as far as regulatory measures go, this seems like something with a (comparatively) very easy fix....? yeah conservatives will be all "come and take it" about it but they do that with literally fucking everything bc petulant commitment to making a culture war out of any regulation or mandated changes.

its insane that we've all just collectively accepted that its normal and fine that someone driving a standard sized 4 door sedan will be momentarily blinded by the EYE-LEVEL blue-white LED headlights on the latest model of the suburbitank Pedestrian Pulverizer 3000 or whatever the fuck

Great Ocean Road, Australia: The Great Ocean Road is an Australian National Heritage-listed 240-kilometre stretch of road along the south-eastern coast of Australia, between the Victorian towns of Torquay and Allansford. Built by returned soldiers between 1919 and 1932, and dedicated to soldiers killed during World War I, the road is the world's largest war memorial. Winding through varying terrain along the coast, and providing access to several prominent landmarks, including the Twelve Apostles limestone stack formations, the road is an important tourist attraction. The Great Ocean Road starts at Torquay and runs westward to finish at Allansford, near Warrnambool. Wikipedia.

In South Korea, some highways utilize rolling barrier systems with plastic rotating barrels. These barriers absorb impact energy and guide vehicles safely during collisions, reducing the risk of flipping.
