The purpose of this project was to identify the sources of deterioration of state highway functionality that occur over time and what actions can be taken to preserve, recover, and enhance functionality. Congestion and operational problems slow traffic, resulting in wasted fuel and time. Safety problems endanger goods and people and poor pavement can affect both travel speed and safety. In light of this, it is important that functionality be considered in all stages of a highways lifecycle and that it be protected, preserved, and where possible enhanced during the course of planning, growth and development, operations, and maintenance. This report provides guidelines through an extensive list of actions for how TxDOT, MPOs, local jurisdictions, and other transportation stakeholders and agencies can protect, preserve, and enhance the functionality of the state highway system. It represents product P1 of TxDOT research project 0-6208, Preserving Functionality/Asset Value of the State Highway System. Relative to the full 0-6208-1 research report, this document is intended to serve as a reference document.
