Sec. 500.106  PMS.

    An effective PMS for Federal-aid highways is a systematic process 
that provides information for use in implementing cost-effective 
pavement reconstruction, rehabilitation, and preventative maintenance 
programs and that results in pavements designed to accommodate current 
and forecasted traffic in a safe, durable, and cost-effective manner. 
The PMS should be based on the ``AASHTO Guidelines for Pavement 
Management Systems.'' \1\
