dc.description.abstract	This research examines the skid resistance of road surfaces in Bangladesh through the application of the British Pendulum Tester (BPT), accompanied by comprehensive statistical analysis. Skid resistance plays a vital role in ensuring road safety, especially in areas susceptible to rain, such as Bangladesh, where wet conditions frequently contribute to a rise in accidents. The research focuses on quantifying skid resistance, pinpointing problematic areas, and examining how traffic and environmental factors influence surface friction. The study included field tests conducted at BRT Lane in Gazipur and along 300ft Road in Purbachal New Town, utilizing the British Pendulum Tester. The results showed that although the majority of sections had satisfactory skid num- bers exceeding 35, some specific points recorded skid numbers below 30, neces- sitating appropriate actions. The research highlights the importance of regular assessments of roadway conditions and the implementation of suitable maintenance approaches, espe- cially for heavily trafficked routes. Future research should adopt a broader per- spective, integrating a more extensive network of roads throughout Bangladesh to enhance the development of road safety policies and practices.	en_US
