Reported herein are the results of the final phase of THD Study 2-8-69-138. This phase of the study is concerned with the effect of various water depths (obtained with a rain simulator) on the friction properties of various pavement textures at different levels of vehicular speeds and tire-tread depths, tire pressures, and tire types. Equations rel

The combined function of the urban arterial, that is, providing for traffic movement and land access, continues to be a major problem. Arterials are designed and built to serve primarily the movement function. As the abutting land develops, access to individual land parcels tends to reduce the effectiveness of the arterial in serving its primary fu

During the early months of 1971 the Oregon State Highway Division requested and received FHWA approval to install flexible guideposts in locations where sight post losses from collisions would be expected to be high. The request was to install the flexible posts as an experimental feature under the provisions of PPM 20-6.3 as a Category 2 Project.
