Texturing of concrete pavements is a critical process aimed at enhancing surface characteristics such as skid resistance, safety, and durability. This study examines various texturing techniques, including transverse tining, longitudinal tining, broom finishing, and exposed aggregate methods, and evaluates their effectiveness in improving pavement performance. Factors such as texture depth, spacing, and orientation are analyzed in relation to friction, noise generation, and water drainage capabilities. The research also considers the impact of construction practices and environmental conditions on the longevity of surface textures. Results indicate that properly designed and executed texturing significantly reduces the risk of hydroplaning and improves vehicle control, particularly under wet conditions. Furthermore, trade-offs between noise levels and skid resistance are discussed to identify optimal solutions for different traffic and environmental scenarios. The findings contribute to the development of guidelines for selecting appropriate texturing methods to achieve safer and more sustainable concrete pavements.
