摘要：	The primary purpose of road winter maintenance is to improve the safety of road users. Although road traffic accidents (RTAs) will always occur, regardless of weather conditions or the level of maintenance afforded a network, the incidence of RTAs on roads by ice, frost or snow should be reduced by the undertaking of preventative and reactionary winter maintenance. All English trunk roads are part of a network that is subject to precautionary salting operations in advance of adverse conditions arising by way of ice, frost, or snow. A road network subject to a well planned and well implemented winter maintenance system should exhibit fewer winter weather related RTAs than one on which the system is less effective. There is a need for a simple performance audit method that measures the consequences and value of correct and incorrect decisions to salt roads. This paper suggests that verification statistics can be used to measure the performance of highway agencies and private consultants or who ever decides when roads should be salted.
