ROAD SURFACES

THE ROAD RESEARCH LABORATORY'S RESEARCH INTO FACTORS THAT DETERMINE THE RESISTANCE TO SKIDDING OF ROAD SURFACES AND THE RIDING QUALITY OF SURFACES IS DESCRIBED. THE IMPORTANCE OF PROVIDING LARGE-SCALE TEXTURE ON BOTH BITUMINOUS AND CONCRETE ROADS IS DISCUSSED AND MACHINERY DEVELOPED FOR THIS PURPOSE IS DESCRIBED, TOGETHER WITH APPARATUS FOR MEASURING SURFACE IRREGULARITY AND PAVING MACHINES FOR CONSTRUCTING SURFACINGS WITH GOOD RIDING QUALITY. /RRL/
