Since it is impossible to influence the weather conditions, it is necessary to provide full protection of the highway. All factors affecting the road condition at the early stages of design were analyzed. It is concluded that if the regulatory and technical requirements are not met, the quality and safety of the road will not be ensured for each road and climate area.in this regard, the most effective methods of protecting and reducing the negative effects of environmental impact were considered.
