Abstract:After the studs were in place stopping distance was greatly reduced. However, as the studs were subjected to traffic they quickly wore down. Within three years of installation stopping distance was nearly what it was before the studs were installed. Considering the short time the Nelson anti-skid studs were effective, compared to installation costs (approximately $7.96 per square foot), it was determined they are not a practical alternative. Their rough texture still presents a hazard to motorcyclists and bicyclists.
