C) Warming up the asphalt plant
D) Checking the weather forecast
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Traffic control ensures worker and public
,safety; a site-specific plan is required before
equipment operation .

B) 250°F
C) 280°F
D) 320°F
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: 280°F is the typical minimum compaction
temperature required to achieve density before the
mix cools too much .
