Should I bump up the PG binder grade (i.e. from PG 58-xx to PG 64-xx) if my project contains slow moving or stopping traffic or heavy truck 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 PG binder grade. However, the designer must consider that it is not economically feasible to require specific PG binder grades only in areas that contain stopping trucks, in which case, the designer should bump the mixture type for the entire project.
