RED-COLORED PAVEMENT: EVALUATION OF MATERIAL

THE STUDY OF RED-COLORED PAVEMENT WAS CONDUCTED IN TWO PHASES: (1) THE PERFORMANCE OF THE MATERIALS USED TO PRODUCE A COLORED SURFACE, AND (2) THE EFFECT OF PAVEMENT COLOR ON VARIOUS DRIVER CHARACTERISTICS. THE REPORT STATES THAT IN THE EXPERIMENTAL RED-COLORED PAVEMENT - INSTALLED AT NEW JERSEY ROUTE 65 AND U. S. ROUTE 206 - AFTER TWO YEARS IN SERVICE THE RED COLOR FADED. THE PAVEMENT ITSELF HAS NOT SERIOUSLY DETERIORATED, AND IT HAS FAIR SKID-RESISTANCE VALUES. /AUTHOR/
