Maximum Grade Standards for Roadways
The text explains American practice for road grades with a maximum of six percent where affordable, five percent being a vertical rise of five feet in one hundred feet. A horse can trot up five percent without trouble, while steeper grades demand high costs for macadam or other surfaces.
Road Drainage and Crown in Macadam Guidance
Authorities discuss level versus crowned macadam roads. Proper grading directs surface water longitudinally along the road. Drainage gutters depend on macadam width and crown design to ensure effective runoff.
Water Causes Foundation Damage Under Macadam Roads
Water should not be left under macadam surfaces as it weakens the foundation. It allows wheels to compact broken stones into the base, forming ruts, and freezing expands the material, causing heaving that lifts larger stones and breaks the bond.
