1. some form of upcoming paving work.
2. a way after this summers tragedy, to "discourage" riders from using it. So local politician(s) asked the local roads crew to do it.
That's a shame... it was as good as I have ever seen it a couple weeks ago.
I think the sand you see is part of a sealing coat being put on. I have come across is several times over the last few years in different areas. It is like a finer version of chip seal.
Sand is not part of the paving process. They grind down a layer and then spray down a water base moister adhesive type stuff and lay down the new asphalt. I was talking with a crew after a mishap I had near Guelph.
From the picture it looks like trucks being overfilled enroute from or to a construction site or a depot.
If anything you should have reported it to the OPP as unsafe road condition.
There does seem to be a ton of road construction just North of the GTA. It's pretty crazy almost unavoidable. Take one route, divert only to be at another place with road work.
I was there today and there's still some sand. There is a sign warning of 'fresh road treatment' or something like that. Like V-Tom and others have said, it's not accidental.
