Abstract

This paper presents the argument that tire-pavement friction should be considered during the design of a new highway facility. The concept of balanced friction design for safety is presented, and is based on the precept that different maneuvers require different levels of available friction and that different highway geometrics produce the need for different maneuvers. Presented in support of these arguments are the most pertinent results of various research and development studies. The information and examples should be useful not only in designing new highways but also in making decisions concerning the correction of deficiencies in existing highways.
