Pavement management refers to the various strategies that can be used to
select a program for pavement restoration. Three strategies used by public agencies
to develop programs include: a “squeaky wheel” approach in which projects
attracting the greatest attention are selected; a program in which all roads are
repaired on a regular schedule regardless of relative project costs; and a program in
which minimum standards are set and a program of priorities established within
budget limitations.
