KYTC	32 David Quarles Agency	U Undecided		Jun 02, 2011	868
Traffic Operations	118 Jeff Wolfe Agency	U Undecided	We are not sure as to the intended purpose of this product. It appears to be very similar to Safe-T-Grip which has already been approved for Phase IV. Literature suggests that the Safe-T-Grip product is intended for curve treatments or intersection approaches. TrafficGrip appears to be a colored version of the product intended for bicycle and pedestrian facilities. Yet the KyPEL submittal suggests that this product can be used for dangerous curves, intersection approaches, bridge decks, and steep grades. This appears inconsistent with their literature. There is no information (that we could find) regarding the aggregate. Most of the documentation appears to be focused on the epoxy. If we are only approving the binder, should this really be coded as a high-friction surfacing system? Our office is developing safety projects involving high-friction surface treatments. A generic specification has been developed. Any product that can satify that specification could be used on these projects.	Sep 17, 2010	690
