Pavement grinding occurs when small particles of stone, glass or other debris have become trapped in the tire tread or surface and that tire slides or skids across a hard roadway surface. This can occur on wet or dry surfaces and results in numerous scratches on the roadway. 1, record 1, English, - pavement%20grinding

Mechanical removal. Sandblasting is effective and does little damage to the pavement surface.... High-pressure water or hydro-blasting can be used successfully on some markings. Grinding is not recommended because of damage to the pavement surface and probable reduction of friction for braking. 1, record 2, English, - mechanical%20removal

Enlèvement mécanique. Le décapage au jet de sable est efficace et n'endommage guère la surface du revêtement. (...) De l'eau à haute pression ou un décapage hydraulique peut être utilisé avec succès sur certaines marques. Il n'est pas recommandé de passer les marques à la meule parce que cette opération peut endommager la surface du revêtement et risque de réduire le frottement pour le freinage. 1, record 2, French, - enl%C3%A8vement%20m%C3%A9canique
