The study was conducted to determine whether the analysis of stream bottom sediments could be used to assess sediment pollution generated by highway construction. Most of the work completed to date has involved testing and refining methods for the collection and processing of sediment and benthic invertebrates ; A transect procedure was used to cha

On July 1, 1974, an amendment went into effect which lowered Virginia's legal drinking age for beer to 18 years; the minimum drinking age for wine and hard liquor was kept at 21. This move to extend adult drinking privileges to persons of military age had already been made in one form or another in about 30 other states. The most common practice am

The magnitude of potential highway user benefits and costs resulting from proposed highway improvements must be estimated with a reasonable degree of accuracy for highway agencies to make rational decisions in the public interest. The Highway Economic Evaluation Model (HEEM) has been developed for that purpose. One of the important aspects of the m

This study evaluated the practicality of using a basic test method developed at the University of Illinois. The report describes the use of the Illinois equation for predicting trial asphalt content, compares the results obtained with two CSS emulsions, and gives the results of resilient modulus tests. Also described is a cure and soak procedure th

Vehicle trip rates at shopping centers, apartment complexes, and subdivisions throughout Virginia were determined from seven-day volume counts. These rates were then compared with rates reported in four recognized sources of trip rate statistics and with Virginia rates developed approximately ten years ago. Within the Virginia data, the rates in th

The experimental deck exhibited a significant amount of cracks in the survey done at 29 months after heat treatment. These were attributed mainly to the heating and the cooling process, as only a few cracks were observed on the control deck. Delaminations totaling about 3% of the total deck surface were found on the experimental structure at 39 mon

Virginia was one of seven agencies that participated in the evaluation of a stripping test developed under National Cooperative Highway Research Program Project 4-8(3). The test was used to predict stripping of a field test section and the test results were compared to stripping that occurred in the test section over a 5-year period. The stripping

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration requires each state to submit an annual Highway Safety Plan as a prerequisite for obtaining federal section 402 safety monies. The Highway Safety Plan serves as more than a mechanism for obtaining funds; it induces planning, programming, and budgeting of highway safety projects at both the state an

This study was conceived as the first phase of a three-phase program to develop a safety data base for intracity bus transit. It involved reviewing the state of the art of general transportation safety management, examining the current intracity bus safety records systems of the federal, state, and local governments and the transit industry, and de
