The main objective of this investigation was to study the possibilities of improving the density of asphaltic concrete pavements at the time of construction to approach the values obtained during the first year of traffic service, in order to eliminate excessive rutting (longitudinal grooves) resulting from additional densification by heavy loads.

The intended purpose of this study was to determine the effect on traffic behavior of a vehicle stopped on the six-foot shoulder of a two-lane one-way freeway overpass. In the course of the study, however, it became evident that much of the data being collected was adaptable to further analysis dealing with the general operating characteristics of

Over the centuries, land travel has evolved from foot to wheel to self-propelled vehicle. With each advance in mode, there has ensued a dramatic revolution in distance, time, and travel pattern. Within memory there was a period of relatively little travel as compared to the motor vehicle age. Man lived a quiet life in the neighborhood of his birth,
