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.

Potholes have become a problem of national proportions. We have seen Congress, in 1978, consider a special $250-million 'pothole bill, ' and in 1979 a special Federal-level Task Force was established to study the pothole. This booklet has been prepared for the specific purpose of assisting elected officials and non-engineering administrators of cities, towns, and military facilities in New England in understanding and managing their pothole problems in asphalt pavements. We have attempted to keep this booklet as non-technical as possible so that non-engineers can use it. (Author).

Research indicates that up to 28% of crashes are due to the road environment. The most important objective of road safety audit is to minimize crashes, and to minimize the severity of any crashes that may occur on a new road project. The series of CAREC road safety engineering manuals came from the endorsement of the CAREC Road Safety Strategy 2017–2030 by member countries. The strategy supports and encourages CAREC authorities to plan, design, construct, and maintain safe roads. This manual also explains the road safety audit process as it can apply in CAREC road projects. It provides information about the audit process for those who undertake the audits (practitioners) and for those who manage the audit process (policy makers).
