Description The A1 Autoroute connecting Paris with Northern Europe is one of the most heavily traffic roads carrying an average of 40,000 vehicles per day, 30% of which are trucks. In the early 1980's, during rainy weather, truck traffic had become such a problem that the highway authority, and SCETAUROUTE Nord, its construction division, began to evaluate ways to address safety hazards of bad weather. A test was implemented on a particularly troublesome section of the roadway around Compiegne by resurfacing with a pervious overlay; based on laboratory data as well as field experience, the pervious overlay was an asphalt-rubber open-graded mix (DRAINOCHAPE) developed by BEUGNET.
