Roadway reports by request
The following reports contain roadway geometric data in various forms, including horizontal and vertical alignment, road life (contract history) and highway classification.
Because roadway reports are large and contain an extensive amount of data, we have provided a sample of the reports and the information they contain. To request a copy of the following reports, please contact us.
Horizontal and vertical alignment report
The Horizontal and Vertical Alignment Report contains curve data extracted from state highway construction contracts. The horizontal data includes curve direction, length, radius, central angle and super elevation. The vertical data includes vertical point of intersection, percent of grade ahead and back and curve length.
Road Life (contract history) Report
The Road Life Report contains coded historical contract information on all state routes, e.g., resurfacing, reconstruction, bridge widening and replacement, lanes added, etc. This serves as the primary data source for the Washington State Pavement Management System (WSPMS), which assists pavement managers in forecasting highway construction projects.
Highway Classification Log
The Highway Classification Log is a listing maintained in Transportation Information and Planning Support (TRIPS), which includes information about items such as control section, city and county, legislative districts, federal aid class/number, maintenance area, urban area/region and Highway Performance Monitoring System (HPMS) section numbers.
Slow down on ice and snow.
It's easier to skid or lose control traveling at higher speeds. Give yourself more time to stop.
Carry chains, practice installing them.
Winter conditions could mean chains are required on your route. Practice putting them on your vehicle ahead of time.
Pack your winter car kit.
Carry extra supplies like warm clothing, ice scraper and brush, jumper cables and other emergency items.
