Monitoring and Evaluation of Low Volume Road Trial Sections in Kenya, Monitoring report 3
The second monitoring round was conducted in October 2018 on 4 roads
Abstract
The second monitoring round was conducted in October 2018 on 4 roads namely: D379, D382, D435 and E511.The activities carried out during this round were, traffic count survey, DCP, rut depth measurements, roughness measurements and Present Serviceability Rating. All the roads are performing well except D382 which has developed potholes big enough to prevent vehicles from using the right lane. This is evident in the roughness measurement result as well as high rut average of 18.8mm. The AADT for all the sections increased except for D435. The increase in AADT indicates that the trial sections are increasingly opening up rural areas to nearby urban centres for economic activities.
