DESIGN AND MAINTENANCE OF UNPAVED ROADS

The design of an unpaved road is generally done in a non-technical manner. While many of the elements of design are the same as for a paved road, the decisions are more likely to be based upon what works best, rather than a value in a blue book. The designer may be a road superintendent, a township trustee, or even a motor grader operator. Natural resources development, especially coal and oil, will create the need for some additional unpaved roads. As fringe areas of cities develop, unpaved roads will serve until a paved surface can be justified.
