Roads continue to be treated in the Weymouth area as part of a Dorset County Council programme.
The surface dressing gang have been on Portland and moved to the mainland this week.
Roads due to be treated this week include those in the Southlands area off Buxton Road and at Bincleaves.
Next week the team is due to start work in the Preston area.
See list below of roads due to be treated.
DCC says its surface dressing gang is working 9am to 4pm in urban areas and 8am to 4pm in rural areas.
Surface dressing is a preventative treatment, to prolong the life of the roads.
It helps prevent potholes, improves skid resistance, and is said to be very cost effective.
Bitumen binder (glue) is sprayed onto the road, stone chippings are spread onto this and then compacted down with a roller. A sweeper then travels along the road the following day to clear any immediate loose chippings.
It is said that a newly-dressed road may feel 'bumpy' as the grip will have been restored. The surface will also be noisier initially while the chippings 'bed down'.
A DCC spokesman said: "Look out for yellow signs two days before work starts – please move your vehicle off the road before 9am and check that the road you move it to is not also being treated.
"Surface dressing doesn’t take long and the road can be driven on as soon as it’s finished. Depending on the length of the road you live on, the road will be closed for around 1-2 hours while the treatment takes place.
"White lining reinstatement will follow on from this and is generally a week or so later."
