Road Note 42 gives guidance on the procedures for maximising the durability of asphalt pavements. Some of the concepts may not be practical in all circumstances, particularly for emergency repairs, but the ideas should be used as ideals to be aimed at whenever practicable. Together with the companion publication, Road Note 41 ‘Best practice guide for overlaying concrete’, it is the result of a three-year project at TRL commissioned by the Highways Agency, Quarry Products Association and Refined Bitumen Association. The two guides provide guidance and advice on design, materials and construction, that encapsulate the overall concepts. These documents should become essential reading for all involved in road construction.
