System Needed
for Priorities
‘Political Roads’ Are
o Out
By CLIFF SANDAHL
Chairman, Nebraska Editors
Highway Conference
One thing that has come to the
fore through presentation of
facts by newspapers, radio and
television news broadcasts with
respect to Nebraska’s highway
problem is the need for 3 some
kind of a system to determine
where and what kind of roads
should be built.
It is well known as to the his
tory of Nebraska’s highway sys
tem, first, that too many roads
have been located and built be
cause of political pressure put on
the governor and the state engi
neer by so-called “influential”
Nebraskans, and, secondly, that
in an effort to meet such
demands, plus the hue and cry
to do something to get out of the
mud and dust, too' many surfaces
consist of coatings much too thin
—some only three inches thick—
to carry the terrific loads and
impacts of today.
Gov. Robert Crosby has
stated emphatically that "pol
itical roads" are out during his
administration and State Engi
neer Harold Aitken has come
up with a plan to follow
through on that very promise
—and that is what is called the
sufficiency rating system.
But whether Nebraska builds
roads on the basis of sufficiency
rating or not, the fact remains
that there must be some sort of
system set up or the state will
never get out of its highway
muddle. And, furthermore, once
that system is set up—whatever
it may be—Nebraskans must
agree to abide by it and not try
to “bend” it for this or that
expediency.
What is meant by sufficiency
rating? It is very simple, when
broken down, for basically only
three facts are involved: condi
tions, economic elements, and
safety. A road that meets all
requirements is given a rating.
Here are the requirements, in
terms of points:
Hard surfaced roads — condi
tion 35 points; economic factors:
(a) remaining life 10, (b) main
tenance cost 15; safety: (a) sur
face width 16, (b) sight distance
10, (c) passing opportunity 7,
(d) consistency (such as a sharp
curve before a road suddenly
narrows into a one-way bridge)
7; total, 100.
Gravel roads— condition 35
points; economic factor: main
tenance cost 20; safety: (a) sight
distance 10, (b) alignment (num
ber of curves) 10, (c) surface ad
equacy 10, (d) consistency 5;
total, 100.
Thus a road rating lowest in
sufficiency is one where the need
for improvements is m^st urgent.
Numerous examples of roads in
this category were presented to
the legislature by State Engineer
Aitken in his recent all-day ap
pearance before the lawmakers.
Those examples and others were
derived from actual on-the-spot

scrutiny of every mile of road in
Nebraska.
WJiile Nebraska may have
hard surfacing on quite a few
of its main traveled routes,
that does not mean that *Vn>
state is in good shape roadwise
for there is the factor of life
expectancy to consider. As the
life insurance actuary deter
mines the average life of men
so the highway engineer deter
mines the average life span of
concrete pavement.
Based on actual Nebraska ex
perience, the average useful, eco
nomic life of concrete pavements
on Nebraska highways is 23 ^
years, the road is excessively
expensive to maintain and the
traveling public is using a facil
ity that is rough and actually !
hazardous. 1
Nearly 20 percent of the con- :
crete, and other rigid type pav- |
ing, on Nebraska state highways ;
right this year, in 1953, will have
served an average of 25 years
without resurfacing. During this !
year, more than half of about j
1,500 miles of the state highway j
rigid type pavements will have
served 18 or more years without
resurfacing.
If no more concrete paving
were resurfaced in the next five
years, ovf?r half of the concrete
paving oh the state highways
would be 23 or more years old.
Reconstructing and resurfac
ing of these concrete pavements
will cost less money than build
ing entirely new ones, but the
restored facilities will not have
as long a life expectancy as
would entirely new paving.
