This paper summarizes the state of the art of research on pavement texture, which has intensified during the last few years. The importance of texture for increased safety on wet roads has been established. The distinct contributions of microtexture and macrotexture to friction between tire and pavement are shown, and methods being developed for providing and maintaining adequate texture are discussed. Research now in progress both on improving methods of texture measurement and on developing models for predicting skid resistance and gradients of skid resistance and speed from texture measurements is described.
