The primary purpose of the project was to determine the effect of pavement texturing on increasing pavement skid resistance and maintaining adequate skid resistance under the influence of vehicular traffic. A secondary objective was evaluation of the effectiveness of the texturing patterns as a warning device to vehicle operators by increasing vehicle vibration and noise. Two texture styles were testing at seven locations on both bituminous and Portland Cement Concrete pavement. All surfaces were textured by a special diamond studded cutter in a transverse pattern. The two-year study concluded that transverse pavement texturing was only slightly effective on Portland Cement Concrete and ineffective on bituminous concrete pavements. Furthermore, the textural patterns utilized were not suitable as highway warning devices. (BPR abstract)
