Maintenance of Drainage Features failure to maintain these features in operable condition can
contribute to the loss of pavement serviceability.
Maintenance of drainage features for both bituminous-
surfaced and concrete-surfaced pavements are described in
Table 15. Drainage impacts pavement performance in many SUMMARY
ways. Poor surface drainage can lead to such undesirable con-
ditions as splash and spray and or slippery pavements. Poor The literature search performed for this project shows that
