Road Segment

A road segment is a uniform section of road that is identified separately in an asset register.

The Queensland Roads Alliance's Road and Bridge Asset Management Kit suggests that a road segment should have:

• the same surface e.g. 14mm sprayed seal, Asphaltic Concrete or unsealed.
• the same width for the majority of the segment.
• the same pavement age or year of construction.
• similar pavement conditions
• a similar traffic regime
• similar shoulder conditions (i.e. sealed or unsealed)
• 100m to 2km in length in urban areas.
• 500m to 2km in length in rural areas, but possibly up to 5km in length in isolated rural areas with uniform conditions.
