Shoving
Shoving is the deflection and bulging of the road surface generally parallel to the direction of traffic, and/or horizontal displacement of surfacing materials. Shoving is typically caused by braking, accelerating or turning vehicles.

There are a number of factors that can make roads more susceptible to shoving, including;
- inadequate pavement strength or thickness
- poor bonds between pavement layers
- lack of containment of the pavement edge
