Pavement rating

This manual provides guidelines for identifying asphalt, BST, and concrete pavement distress types and defines the levels of severity and extent (area, length, count).

Slow down – lives are on the line.

Drive the posted speeds, they’re there for your safety.

Phone down, eyes up.

Pay attention – both to workers directing you and to surrounding traffic.

Stay calm

Expect delays, leave early or take an alternate route if possible; no appointment is worth risking someone’s life.
