Book Description
This synthesis will be of interest to pavement engineers, safety officers, and others interested in wet-pavement safety programs. Information is provided on the programs used by a number of agencies in gathering data and correcting areas of potential wet-weather accidents. Wet-pavement accidents continue to be of concern to highway agencies. This report of the Transportation Research Board summarizes agencies' programs in areas such as accident reporting, vehicle testing, friction testing, corrective actions for problem areas, and tort liability and gives some general guidelines for the content of a wet-pavement safety program.

Book Description
The National Transportation Safety Board has investigated 12 highway accidents involving wet pavement, reviewed the skid resistance programs of 10 States, and reviewed the States' responses to the Federal Highway Administration's (FHWA) Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, "Skid Accident Reduction Program--FHWA Docket No. 77-16," and conducted a special study on the magnitude of the wet pavement problem. There is a lack of systematic application of proven principles and practices by the States and FHWA. Past FHWA approaches have not been successful. As examples, the Board found that some of the fundamental skid resistance principles that are accepted today have been known over 20 years, that many local or county roads have never been skid tested, and that more than one State does not use accident records to define where testing is needed. As a result of this evaluation, the Board recommends that FHWA develop program objectives, initiate rulemaking to require that each State have an approved program with specific elements, revise the Federal-aid Highway Program Manual (FHPM 6.2.4.3), promote further research in several areas, and disseminate information more effectively.
