Drop-Off Utilizing Readily Available Maintenance of Roadway Edge Materials

This research will evaluate the effectiveness of different strategies like reclaimed asphalt pavements (RAP), hydrated fly ash (HFA) and other possible alternatives as possible shoulder materials as solutions to reduce and hopefully eliminate the edge drop-off safety issues within the state. This research will evaluate the application and performance of different alternatives; and develop a logical method(s) to address problematic shoulder locations. District offices have the ever-pressing need to do more with less and will look for cost-effective solutions for District personnel to utilize in their different areas.
