The purpose of this manual is to provide clear and helpful information for maintaining gravel roads. Very little technical help is available to small agencies that are responsible for managing these roads. Gravel road maintenance has traditionally been "more of an art than a science" and very few formal standards exist. This manual contains guidelines to help answer the questions that arise concerning gravel road maintenance such as: What is enough surface crown? What is too much? What causes corrugation? The information is as nontechnical as possible without sacrificing clear guidelines and instructions on how to do the job right.

"That concrete foundations are best for permanent highways is an acknowledged fact. There are, however, a number of acceptable wearing surfaces, each particularly adaptable to varying traffic conditions. In order that the advantages of these wearing surfaces might be adequately treated, the manufacturers of asphalt, brick and bituminous products were requested to prepare articles explaining the use of their materials."--Foreword, page 4.
