Title: OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE OF SAFETY REST AREAS (ABRIDGMENT)
Accession Number: 00368913
Record Type: Component
Availability: Find a library where document is available Abstract: People in America are highly mobile. A partial network of safety rest areas has been completed on the Interstate highway system so drivers can stop for a short period and return to the road as safer drivers. Operation and maintenance costs vary from $16,000 to $60,000/site/year. This is a significant cost in maintenance budgets; therefore they should be operated as efficiently as possible. Supervision, staffing, training, methods, and materials used are key elements that influence cost-effectiveness. Proper attention to these elements will produce well-maintained safety rest areas that provide a valuable service to the motoring public at the least possible cost. (Author)
