Abstract:

The Virginia Department of Highways has for many years been concerned with the slipperiness of highway pavements, and has undertaken remedial action at numerous high wet accident locations. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the remedial action taken at 18 locations to determine if the percentages of wet accidents were significantly reduced. The remedial action taken has always been either resurfacing or grooving. The findings of this study were that both resurfacing to increase skid resistance and grooving tended to reduce the percentage of wet pavement accidents, with resurfacing seeming to provide the greater benefit.
