The report provides a limited comparison of transverse and longitudinal tine texturing of PCC pavements. Skid test results and accident data are provided and analyzed. The advantages and disadvantages of each method and the reasons for California's adoption of the longitudinal tining procedure are discussed. It is concluded that, while the skid values of transverse textured surfaces are generally slightly higher than those textured longitudinally, both types are performing satisfactorily. Because of the lesser cost of longitudinal tining, it is recommended that longitudinal tining continue to be specified by Caltrans for PCC pavement.
