There is no need to compact the taper with a conventional steel- or pneumatic-tired roller because
it will simply destroy the vertical notch. The overlap layer of the adjacent paving lane is required to
be placed and compacted within 24 h unless delayed by inclement weather. The vertical notch and
taper are tack-coated with rubberized asphalt binder prior to placing the overlap wedge, as described
later. The notched wedge joint can be formed by using a homemade sloping steel plate or commercial
devices attached to the inside corner of the paver screed extension.
