Abstract	Results from three different winter road maintenance periods indicate that the behavior of pavements made of asphaltic concrete and those of porous asphalt - even with varying grain mixes of 0/8 mm and 0/11 mm - did not differ markedly from each other and certainly not to an extent that would suggest discontinuing the use of the latter materials. These experiences assume appropriate attentiveness on the part of the personnel, planning of the operations, and precise weather forecasting. The disadvantages that porous asphalt was originally thought to have in winter road maintenance may have been well-founded in theory, but they were not confirmed in practice and appear to be controllable.
