What should be done with pavement edges that exceed 3 inches?

When pavement edges exceed 3 inches, the appropriate response is to remove and report them. This is crucial due to safety and structural considerations. Excessive pavement edges can pose hazards to vehicles and pedestrians, potentially leading to accidents or damage to both the pavement itself and surrounding infrastructure. By addressing the issue promptly through removal, it mitigates risks associated with uneven surfaces which can lead to tripping hazards or vehicular mishaps. Additionally, reporting the condition ensures that it is logged and dealt with in an organized manner, allowing for necessary actions to be taken in a timely fashion. This proactive maintenance approach is vital in ensuring the longevity of the pavement and safety for all users.
