Do I need to do anything special the day of installation?

How long should I stay off a newly paved surface?
Most driveways or parking lots are blocked off for 2 to 3 days. However, if imperative, asphalt can be driven on (not parked on) once the roller has completed the job. Extreme care should be taken for at least one week (for example no sharp wheel turns).
