37 Miss. Code R. § 1-8601-01003-102
Skid tests are part of MDOT's overall obligation to provide safe roads for the traveling public. Pavement friction tests are required on all MDOT Federal-Aid projects having a minimum length of 1000 ft. of newly constructed hot-mix asphalt (HMA) pavement surfacing. Friction tests are also performed upon written request to the State Research Engineer. Exceptions include the following: a project with an overall posted speed limit below 40 mph, projects wherein the roadway layout does not allow for a minimum of two individual readings, and a situation hazardous to life or property. Skid testing will be performed and reported in accordance with the American Society of Testing & Materials (ASTM) E274 (available at www.astm.org [File Link Not Available]).
