Supermarket car parks use the most hardwearing/cheap tarmac they can possibly get and it's slippier than road stuff.

It rides like a constant bend.

I disagree, in this case at least, it's really quite grippy as far as supermarket Tarmac goes. And it's heated which is quite cool (or not).

It's only this corner as well. The entire rest of the carpark is absolutely fine. Even at 5mph +VAT +import tax +tip +compulsory gratuity.

Default Re: Multiple low sides.

i'd say there is too much oil in the tarmac, especially with the damp roads it is just too slippery, I've had several scary butt eating seat moments in supermarket carparks, they always use a mix that has a large ammount of oil in it to keep the tarmac looking prestine and black this unfortunately means that the road suface is very slippery especially when wet/damp.
They have also (from the second photo) used pavement grade tarmac for the road surface, go and look at a new housing estate where the council have adopted the roads, you will see what I mean, the pavement has a dense hard compacted surcafe that makes it grippy for things like motorised buggies and pushchairs whilst also being very smooth for the user, roads always have a more coarse (sp?) surface that makes grip better for cars/bikes etc, it also allows the blind to know where they are by the feel of the surface.


Of course I could be wrong...
