Skid distances obtained from locked wheel stop at 40 mph may vary from 90 to 200 ft on wet highway pavements; causes of variation in skid resistance include polishing of aggregate in portland cement concrete or bituminous pavements, glazing of bituminous pavements, foreign films; tests carried out showed that limestone-dolomite type of stone is more prone to polish than granites, greenstones, diabases and siliceous gravels and sands; more testing is needed to determine extent to which many other types of stone will polish under traffic.
