• Abstract:
  The purpose of this project was to identify the sources of deterioration of state highway ; functionality that occur over time and what actions can be taken to preserve, recover, and ; enhance functionality. Congestion and operational problems slow traffic, resulting in wasted fuel ; and time. Safety problems endanger goods and people and poor pavement can affect both travel ; speed and safety. In light of this, it is important that functionality be considered in all stages of a ; highway’s lifecycle and that it be protected, preserved, and where possible enhanced during the ; course of planning, growth and development, operations, and maintenance. ; This report provides guidelines through an extensive list of actions for how TxDOT, MPOs, ; local jurisdictions, and other transportation stakeholders and agencies can protect, preserve, and ; enhance the functionality of the state highway system. It represents product P1 of TxDOT ; research project 0-6208, Preserving Functionality/Asset Value of the State Highway System. ; Relative to the full 0-6208-1 research report, this document is intended to serve as a reference ; document.
