Abstract: A problem with unpaved roads is that they can be prone to damage when driven on. The road surface matting includes a first mat 1a and a second mat 1b, each mat having a series of substantially parallel beams 2, a plurality of spine rods 3 that run substantially perpendicular to and through the beams and connect the beams to one another. Each mat also has a joiner 7 adjacent an edge of the mat, arranged so that one of the spine rods passes through the joiner. The matting is such that the first and second mats are connected to one another by way of a connecting rod 8 that passes through and joiner 8 of one mat and the joiner 8 of the other mat.
