Additional Information / Summary:

This NCHRP publication discusses the basic characteristics of pavement surfaces that make them skid resistant. A distinction is made between macro- and micro-texture. Other topics include: (1) What is skid resistance? (2) What are the skid resistance requirements of traffic? (3) What are the methods of measuring skid resistance? (4) What are the characteristics of skid-resistant surfaces? (5) What are the factors in skid resistance deterioration? (6) What are the design and construction practices to achieve skid-resistant pavements? (7) What are corrective measures for deteriorated skid resistance? and (8) What are some remedial measures to compensate for marginal skid resistance?
