|
| The Macadam Building of 1975 houses the Strand Campus Students' Union and is named after King's alumnus Sir Ivison Macadam, first President of the National Union of Students. |
|
| In the absence of surface dressing, dense bitumen macadam tends to polish and become dangerous. |

|
| I retraced my route down the gold brick driveway out to the macadam state road. |
|
| The dust clouds raised by cars were still asphyxiating, but macadam was slowly bringing relief. |
|
| The roads shall have sensory speed detectors, traffic lights and tar macadam. |
|
| The city boasts of wide expanses of artistically rendered potholes interrupted in some areas by stretches of macadam. |
|
| Scribbled in her untidy scrawl were the words I love Nate Litz written across her macadam driveway in a pale rose-colored chalk. |
|
| A pup tent not more than 20 yards from the macadam was pitched by the river. |
|
| The dense bitumen macadam surface, in the absence of any other dressing, tends to polish and became dangerous, particularly after rain. |
|
| We will be continuing our programme of macadam overlays for regional and local roads around the county. |
|
| Paving was usually done with asphalt or macadam, though brick paving blocks were also used. |
|
| In 1906 Eltham's Bridge Street and High Street became the first tarred macadam roads in New Zealand. |

|
| Tarmacadam is created by spraying tar along a macadamized road to bind it together further and pressing the surface with a roller to drive the tar deep into the macadam. |
|
| With the advent of motor vehicles, dust became a serious problem on macadam roads. |
|
| The macadam surface method laid the stone and sand aggregates on the road and then sprayed it with the binding material. |
|
| The first macadam road built in the United States was constructed between Hagerstown and Boonsboro, Maryland and was named at the time Boonsborough Turnpike Road. |
|
| Telford improved on methods for the building of macadam roads by improving the selection of stone based on thickness, taking into account traffic, alignment and slopes. |
|
| This method involved spreading tar on the subgrade, placing a typical macadam layer, and finally sealing the macadam with a mixture of tar and sand. |
|
| While macadam roads have now been resurfaced in most developed countries, some are preserved along stretches of roads such as the United States' National Road. |
