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.

This document presents a synthesis of current information and operating practices related to roadside safety and is developed in metric units. The roadside is defined as that area beyond the traveled way (driving lanes) and the shoulder (if any) of the roadway itself. The focus of this guide is on safety treatments that minimize the likelihood of serious injuries when a driver runs off the road. This guide replaces the 1989 AASHTO "Roadside Design Guide."

TRB's National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) Report 677: Development of Levels of Service for the Interstate Highway System examines a level-of-service-based approach to describing the performance of Interstate Highway System (IHS) assets. The report also includes a template and process that state departments of transportation (DOTs) may use to implement this approach for managing their IHS assets. The appendices to NCHRP Report 677 were published on a CD-ROM that is included with the report. Titles of the appendices are as follows: Appendix A: State-of-the-Practice Research; Appendix B: Development of Levels of Service for the IHS. The CD-ROM is also available for download from TRB's website as an ISO image.
