Sorry to hear the sad news. I was reading about asphalt fog seals and the California Dept of Transportation says that "Emulsions that are not adequately diluted with water may not properly penetrate the surface voids resulting in excess asphalt on the surface of the pavement after the emulsion breaks, which can result in a slippery surface."
Also after fog sealing, the road coefficient of friction is measured and must be at least 0.30. Hopefully that was done.

There was a similar problem with such coatings in California – I think in the San Gabriel mountains north of LA - several years ago.    That one bit a few CHP motorcycle cops if memory serves.

JB, That is because they travel at a high state of speed around curves also cutting into our bike lane.

Be careful.

Hi,

I have learned that since a recent resurfacing on the Crest Road that there have been an unusual number of motorcycle crashes on the road.  There is an unsubstantiated story that three cyclists crashed on the road recently too.

 

If you have any information about any recent cyclist crashes on the Crest Road, could you please email me with details? 

 

Thank you,

Jennifer Buntz
