Abstract:

High Friction Surface Treatment (HFST) is a safety countermeasure that immediately reduces crashes, injuries, and fatalities associated with friction demand issues. The treatment can help compensate for deficient geometric designs, such as sharp curves, by providing the necessary friction to maintain traction on the intended path. This publication provides information for identifying potential horizontal curves for HFST implementation in order to improve horizontal curve safety and prevent friction-related crashes. The report concisely describes the treatment, then step-by-step explains how to; Identify Curves for HFST, Conduct Field Verification, Select Aggregate and Binder Materials, Determine Application Method and Develop Specifications, and; Estimate Cost and Identify Funding. The publication concludes by outlining potential results and benefits of the treatment.
