Abstract

Consideration was given to decisions concerning the annual amount spent on maintaining each section of the road, the economic justification of road improvements, the selection of road design standards, and construction cost. The report shows how each of these decisions is sensitive to the traffic parameters used in making them. Many of the parameters are shown to be subject to large errors due to the estimating methods currently in use.
