A Continuing Skid Resistance Inventory

During the summer and fall of 1971, skid resistance measurements were made on highways of the Idaho State Highway System. Testing was done with the locked wheel trailer purchased in 1970 using Idaho Department of Highways and National Highway Traffic Safety Commission funds as part of a Highway Safety Project. One requirement of the safety project was that the Highway Department continue to maintain an inventory of skid resistance measurements on the highway system. In keeping with the terms of the safety project agreement, the Department tested nearly all highway sections receiving new surfaces since the original skid test inventory was made in 1971. The objectives of this year's testing were to: (1) Update the skid resistance inventory of all State highways by testing those sections receiving a new surface, either by maintenance or construction since the 1971 inventory; and (2) Test specific locations requested by the Districts to recheck previous tests at high frequency accident locations and special test sections such as where Reclamite had been applied. This report contains the results of this research project.
