In the United States, chipseals are typically used on rural roads carrying lower traffic volumes, and the process is often referred to as asphaltic surface treatment. This type of surface has a variety of other names including tar-seal or tarseal, tar and chip, sprayed seal, surface dressing, or simply seal. In Australia as well as New Zealand, chipseal roads are common, including usage on major highways.
