What types of streets are good candidates for seal coat projects?

Generally, seal coats are good for streets that are already in good shape that we want to keep in good shape. Seal coats can be used on streets that have a decent amount of cracking already as long as the cracks are sealed with the seal coat project. Pavement that has wide cracks, "alligator" cracking, consistent large potholes, or surface spalling (pavement that is losing its "smoothness") are probably not good candidates for Seal Coats and would instead benefit from a mill and overlay or a full depth reclamation.
