• Abstract:
  This project constructed High Friction Surfacing Treatment at multiple locations in the Oklahoma City metropolitan area. This project was an example of innovation in improving pavement friction to reduce run-off-the-road crashes. This project addressed the following TIDP goal: “Improve highway efficiency, safety, mobility, reliability, service life, environmental protection, and sustainability.” This request for AID demonstration funding comprised 80% of the project budget. Oklahoma was a roadway departure focus state at the time this project was initiated. The purpose of the project was to improve safety on three curves (including one reverse curve, specifically by providing increased friction to reduce the chances of off-tracking or loss of vehicle control, and to demonstrate the effectiveness, service life, and installation of this treatment for very high traffic Interstate locations.
