Title: Guidance for the development of policy to manage skid resistance
Abstract: Current skid resistance monitoring programs and investigatory limits used in Australia are based on systems developed in the UK where the climate, traffic intensity and network configuration are very different. These do not necessarily suit Australian conditions and have high cost implications in terms of monitoring and maintaining surfaces at sometimes inappropriately high skid resistance levels. A more targeted approach is desirable that requires field testing to be undertaken only on those road sections at risk of not meeting specified investigatory levels. This report details a framework that will assist road authorities (including local government authorities) determine appropriate monitoring programs and investigation levels to local conditions.
