Book Description
The purpose of this manual is to provide clear and helpful information for maintaining gravel roads. Very little technical help is available to small agencies that are responsible for managing these roads. Gravel road maintenance has traditionally been "more of an art than a science" and very few formal standards exist. This manual contains guidelines to help answer the questions that arise concerning gravel road maintenance such as: What is enough surface crown? What is too much? What causes corrugation? The information is as nontechnical as possible without sacrificing clear guidelines and instructions on how to do the job right.

Book Description
This report details the conception, design and implementation of the Texas Skid Accident Reduction Program. The primary objective was to develop a system which would help each District identify highway segments that are over-represented in wet weather accidents. Within each Highway District, the wet-surface-to-dry-surface ratio of accidents for the previous three year period was calculated for the entire population of on-system roads. The wet-to-dry accident ratios were then calculated for each five or ten mile segment by moving along the roadways in 1/10 mile increments. The top fifty segments which were over-represented in wet weather accidents, that is, had a ratio higher than the District as a whole, were listed. A new comprehensive listing was developed using input from the District personnel visited during the study. This listing will be disseminated to the Districts on an annual basis. The data is expected to be incorporated into ongoing District analyses of on-system roadways. The data should be one of many tools used by the Districts to help prioritize and schedule their short- and long-term maintenance and rehabitation programs.
