Should I bump up the mixture type (i.e. from LV to MV) if my project contains slow moving or stopping traffic?
If the project contains considerable truck traffic that will be stopping or slow moving at points along the project, it may be beneficial to bump up the mixture type (See PG binder bumping below). However, the designer must consider that it is not economically feasible to require specific mixture types only in areas that contain stopping trucks, in which case, the designer should bump the mixture type for the entire project.
