LE MANUEL INTERNATIONAL D'ENTRETIEN ROUTIER DE L'AIPCR: RECOMMENDATIONS PRATIQUES POUR L'ENTRETIEN DES ROUTES RURALES

This article reviews the new edition of PIARC's guide "The Road Maintenance Handbook", which is intended to be useful to road maintenance supervisors and foremen. It is circulated free of charge, on request, to all developing countries, and represents tangible evidence of the benefits of cooperation between PIARC member countries. Revision began in 1992, and the Transport Research Laboratory (TRL) produced a new English text and illustrations. It has four volumes: (1) Maintenance of Roadside Areas and Drainage; (2) Maintenance of Unpaved Roads; (3) Maintenance of Paved Roads; and (4) Maintenance of Structures and Traffic Control Devices. A basic Memorandum of Understanding was drawn up, to facilitate the production and distribution of various editions and versions of the Handbook in various languages.
