The function of preserving, repairing, and restoring a highway and keeping it in condition for safe, convenient, and economical use is called Highway Maintenance.
Highway Maintenance is the routine work performed to keep a pavement, under normal conditions of traffic and normal forces of nature, as nearly as possible in its as constructed condition.

It includes both physical maintenance activities such as sealing, patching, filling joints, and so forth and traffic service activities including painting pavement markings, removing snow, ice, and litter.
Rehabilitation includes restoring or betterment of roadway such as resurfacing.

Highway Maintenance Programs are designed to:
1) Offset the effects of weather2) Vandalism3) Vegetation growth4) Traffic wear and damage, as well as
deterioration due to the effects of aging5) Material failures6) Design and construction faults

All Pavements require maintenance. Stresses producing minor effects are
constantly working in all pavements. Stresses are:
◦ Change in temperature and moisture; ◦ Traffic; ◦ Small movements in underlying or adjacent earth.
Distresses are visible evidence of pavement wear (i.e. they are the end result of the wear process which begins when construction ends).
Water lines and other utilities are major area of pavement maintenance.
