higher traffic volumes, and lack of agency expe- rience with certain treatments. The guidelines include details on factors af- fecting project and treatment selections for pavement preservation, including traffic level, pavement condition, climate and environment, work zone duration restrictions, expected treat- ment performance and relative costs. A sequential approach for evaluating possible preservation treatments for an existing pave- ment and identifying the preferred one is pre- sented in the guidelines, diagramming how data sources and project constraints are considered. Also presented is information on pavement distresses and how the various preservation treatments can address them. The treatments are described in initial feasibility matrices that out- line possible applications for specific distresses and the treatments' ability to prevent or slow pavement deterioration or to restore functional- ity or surface characteristics.
