Minimizing roadway crashes and fatalities is one of the primary objectives of highway engineers, and can be achieved in part through appropriate maintenance practices.
That's what engineers have concluded after studying hundreds of highway surfaces across the United States, Canada, and Europe over the past 5 years.
