    Abstract: Methods manage the damage of heavy road users on a municipal road network through the implementation of Road Use Agreements between municipalities and heavy road users. Specifically, methods accomplish one or more purposes including, but not limited to, quantifying the in situ traffic capacity of a road, the routine traffic using the road, and the depreciation caused by that traffic, determining whether a heavy road user is regulated, and measuring and quantifying road damages by heavy users versus the normal depreciation by routine traffic. Methods determine the cost share of damage liabilities for heavy road users versus the municipal liability for capital depreciation existing prior to the activities of the heavy road users and the damage of routine traffic using the road at the same time as a heavy road user or multiple heavy road users. Methods preferably provide a regulatory chart for one or more roads.
