This synthesis report will be of interest to pavement design, construction, management, and research engineers, highway safety officials, and others concerned with pavement friction characteristics. It describes the current state of the practice and discusses the methods used for evaluating wet pavement friction characteristics of new and restored pavements. This synthesis reviews models used for measuring and evaluating friction and texture, causes for friction changes over time, and aggregate and mix design to provide adequate friction. Also presented are construction and surface restoration practices for providing good pavement surface characteristics. In addition, considerations of noise and ride quality are discussed when compromise may be required.

It is well established among researchers in the pavement friction area that type of surface texture greatly influences the friction properties of pavement surfaces. Although it is recognized that other factors not necessarily related to surface texture also affect surface friction, various agencies in this country and abroad are engaged in developing methods for measuring pavement surface texture. Some 20-odd extant methods are currently used. The relative attributes of many of these methods are questioned, since results of tests using these methods have not, on the whole, produced consistent or reproducible quantitative results.
