' 3. Rolling shall be carried out in three (3) operations in close sequence. Each pass of
the roller shall overlap previous passes to ensure a smooth surface free of roller
marks.

as soon as possible while the paving mix is still warm enough to result in
the maximum specified density.
C) Final rolling shall be done with two-axle or three-axle tandems while the
