Because agency officials responsible for the management of low-volume roads work with limited budgets, guidelines for selecting the most-practical design, maintenance, and rehabilitation alternatives must be established. Bituminous surfacings provide a good, often low-cost surfacing for low-volume roads. These surfacings may consist of hot-mix asphalt concrete, cold bituminous plant mixes, mixed in-place cold mixes, surface treatments or chip seals, slurry seals, and, in some cases, recycled mixes. Recycling should be considered as a cost-effective alternative for rehabilitating distressed pavements. This synthesis report contains sufficient information on the above topics to assist engineers and administrators in the decision process of designing, constructing, and maintaining low-volume roads. The text is thoroughly referenced to identify sources of additional detailed information.
