Reported herein are the results of a study concerned with determining the amount of water which can be expected to exist on various pavement types under normal ranges of pavement cross slopes, rainfall intensities, pavement textures, and drainage lengths. Equations are developed which relate these variables and their relative effects to water depth

A questionnaire survey was conducted of state and local highway engineers and law enforcement personnel in an attempt to qualitatively determine the nature of wrong-way driving in Texas. In general, these officials considered the greatest problem with respect to wrong-way driving to be that of the drinking, drunk, or drugged driver. They also sugge
