The development of various methods for texturing the fresh surface of high speed concrete roads is discussed. The performance is reviewed of various roads including those textured by the type of wire broom specified in the current Ministry of Transport Specification for Road and Bridge Works. The rate of wear and the skidding resistance of slow and fast lane surfaces are examined. An examination is also made of the effect of the initial texture imposed on the rate of change in skidding resistance with increase in speed. (Author)
