Editing Permeable paving (section)

=== Weight and traffic volumes ===
Reference sources differ on whether low or medium traffic volumes and weights are appropriate for porous pavements due to the variety of physical properties of each system. For example, around truck loading docks and areas of high commercial traffic, porous pavement is sometimes cited as being inappropriate. However, given the variability of products available, the growing number of existing installations in North America and targeted research by both manufacturers and user agencies, the range of accepted applications seems to be expanding.<ref>{{Citation |last=Ajamu |first=S.O. |year=2012 |title=Evaluation of Structural Performance of Pervious Concrete in Construction |publisher=International Journal of Engineering and Technology |url=https://www.researchgate.net/publication/271486843 |access-date=2020-12-06}}</ref> Some concrete paver companies have developed products specifically for industrial applications. Working examples exist at fire halls, busy retail complex parking lots, and on public and private roads, including intersections in parts of North America with quite severe winter conditions.
