Issued for the guidance of engineers responsible for the inspection and maintenance of trunk roads. It describes how the common causes of slope instability develop, those slopes at risk of failure, what to look for as early signs of earth slips and how remedial and preventive treatments should be carried out. It also covers the maintenance of slope drainage on general earthworks and more specifically, the maintenance of earthworks and drainage for roads constructed through sites of domestic and toxic wastes. Spillages of hazardous liquids on the road surface are also considered.
