The most comprehensive and up-to-date reference on roadway defects.
Written by one of the world's leading roadway safety experts, you will get many valuable insights on the roadway design, roadway maintenance, traffic engineering, and human factors aspects of roadway safety.

This guide is written specifically for plaintiff and defense lawyers, expert witnesses in the litigation of roadway defect cases, and roadway agencies. You will be presented with an ongoing dialogue about the major issues surrounding the most prevalent roadway defect categories, and a clear focus on prevalent roadway safety problems and their best candidate for solutions.
