OVER TEN YEARS EXPERIENCE WITH POROUS ROAD SURFACES

The use of porous road surface is attractive because the emission of rolling noise is less compared with situations where Dense Asphalt Concrete is used. This means that provisions for noise abatement can be lower and cheaper. In general the road users are very satisfied with porous road surfaces. They are not interested in the lower noise production, but in the fact that under wet conditions they have less problems with splash and spray. Only in the case that a road will be constructed near living areas do people living nearby insist on the use of quiet road surfaces with the highest reductions. Is the use the use of porous asphalt advantageous? What about the other properties of porous asphalt, do they remain as good? After ten years it is desirable to reconsider and to formulate improvements.
