Tech/Engineering
English term or phrase: roadstone
minerals may be owned or leased by third parties (it can be difficult to establish this definitively), if so agreement is required with such third parties before these minerals can be interfered with through e.g. excavation for foundations, quarrying for ***aggregates for roadstone*** or the like. It could be a planning condition that roadstone is sourced on site.

Was ist das? Irgendwelche Fahrbahnmarkierungen?

agree  Steffen Walter: Das wäre die Einengung auf eines der möglichen Produkte (könnte aber zutreffen).

Explanation:
So würde ich "aggregates for roadstone" wiedergeben - ich denke, dass der im engl. Begriff gegebene Bezug "Straße" die ganze Sache zu sehr einengt (eventuell noch ergänzen: "Zuschlagstoffe für Natursteinprodukte für den Straßen- und Wegebau"). Davon abgesehen ist Roadstone mit großem "R" auch noch eine Unternehmensbezeichnung/Marke (2. Quelle).

Cilians Variante \'Pflasterstein(e)\' oder \'Straßenpflaster\' ist i.e.S. genauso denkbar.
