Safety on existing unpaved rural roads is enhanced by the implementation of an incremental improvement program. Many of the unpaved rural roads worldwide have geometric deficiencies that do not conform with recognized standards and guidelines. In many instances, roadway improvements are not being completed due to the inability to fund improvements that meet the standards and guidelines. Tort liability involving unsafe roadway conditions is an increasing concern to highway agencies. Incremental improvements for unpaved rural roads is potentially an important tool for local agencies. By making incremental improvements to certain rural roads, even though these improvements are not in conformance with acceptable minimum standards, the safety of the road is enhanced.
