GROOVING PATTERN STUDIES IN CALIFORNIA
GROOVES CAN BE CUT INTO PAVEMENT IN A LONGITUDINAL (PARALLEL TO THE CENTERLINE), TRANSVERSE, OR SKEWED DIRECTION. ALL GROOVING (EXCEPT FOR A FEW SHORT EXPERIMENTAL SECTIONS) TO DATE ON CALIFORNIA HIGHWAYS HAS BEEN PERFORMED IN A LONGITUDINAL DIRECTION. THIS LEADS TO INCREASED LATERAL STABILITY AND TENDS TO GUIDE THE VEHICLE THROUGH A CRITICAL CURVE AREA. VARIOUS PATTERNS ARE COMMENTED ON AND ILLUSTRATED.
