Spot safety risks sooner
Monitor friction levels across your network to identify zones at risk of wet-weather skidding.
Skid Resistance Strategy
Turn friction data into a strategy that saves lives
Friction You Can Rely On
-
-
Prioritise critical areas
Focus resources on high-traffic routes, junctions, bends, and known incident locations.
-
Apply the right treatments
Support decisions on surface dressing, resurfacing, or texture enhancement with defensible evidence.
-
Strengthen your policy
Build or update your skid resistance strategy in line with national standards and local risk profiles.
