The Safety Edge is smaller than the typical tapered pavement edge. Because it is formed by a spring-loaded shoe that constrains the asphalt head, the density of the extruded profile increases. Using a single plate strike-off to form a tapered edge will not produce a durable edge. Both the spring and the rounded shape of the shoe are critical to obtaining the Safety Edge.
