Road operation and maintenance are the main part of road asset management. Only cost efficient and timely repair of deteriorated pavements ensures optimal and balanced use of funds allocated to road maintenance, as well as cost savings for the society. However, it should be noted that any intervention into traffic lane, where works are carried out without closing of traffic, causes discomfort to road users. In road work zones, the likelihood of accidents increases.
