ABSTRACT

It is convenient, for management purposes, to group activities under the headings of 'operations', 'maintenance', 'renewal' and 'development' (National Asset Management Steering Group 2000). These headings can be used for all types of road assets, including carriageways and shoulders, bridges and structures, footways and cycle tracks, street lighting, road signs and furniture. Activities are described in more detail in Chapter 20. The present chapter focuses on the management of the following for carriageways.
