1. Why is there a row of rock along the side of the gravel road?

Our motor grader operators often leave a small row of rock (windrow) on the side of the gravel road. Especially during dry times of the year, blading the loose material over the side of the roadway will reduce the washboarding of the gravel roadway and will provide a smoother driving surface. This material is then spread back over the roadway and can fill in depressions in the roadway when needed. The ideal time to do this is after a rain event so that the wet gravel will be compacted by traffic. Windrows are also removed by the motor grader before winter so that this material is not pushed into the ditch by the snow plows.
