Street Inventories

Road managers should have an inventory of their streets in order to prioritize needs for rehabilitation projects.  A basic inventory will include street segments, street dimensions, type of pavement, the pavement condition, and a field for general comments.  The inventory may also include fields for calculating quantities and budgeting. 

It is important that streets be properly spelled and street suffixes are recorded in a uniform manner.  Pavement types should be described in a uniform way and pavement condition ratings should be consistent.  Agencies use various rating systems, however the PASER system developed by the University of Wisconsin (which rates streets on a 1 to 10 scale) is easy to use, can be easily explained to constituents and is free.  Informative manuals can be downloaded from the PASER web site.

Our company believes that Road Managers should be armed with as much information as possible when making decisions concerning their road network. We can provide you with a blank street inventory. An example of a completed database can be found by clicking here. If you would like a copy of this datatbase, please contact Pat Palmer at ppalmer@missouripetroleum.com
