Areas in which there is a need for research are listed and discussed. Emphasis must be placed on efficient management in the fields of maintenance, vehicle fleet, equipment, and pavement. The resurfacing of existing facilities including uniformity in crude oil products, low-volume rural road surface treatment, and thin bituminous overlays over concrete pavements are other areas requiring attention. Roadway construction materials, guardrail design for low-volume rural roads, alternative to use of salt in metropolitan areas and highway safety (signalization, traffic signs, and pavement markings) also need to be researched.
