What is the difference between twin leading and leading and trailing brakes?

Why might sidewalks make periodic breaks in them?

Properly designed sidewalks have an expansion strip every so often. Since the materials used to make sidewalks can expand and contract with heat and cold, these expansion strips act as "cushions" to each section of the sidewalk. If the expansion strips are incorrectly installed, or damaged, it is possible for the sidewalk sections to buckle and/or crack. If you need to have your sidewalk repaired, make sure that the contractor properly installs expansion strips, usually by filling the gap with foam backer rod topped with a urethane sealant.
