Emergency Services and Stormwater Management

Pervious concrete is recognized by the emergency services as a low impact development system that does not hinder or impede the emergency services in any way.

The article notes that pervious concrete has excellent skid resistance, which is important to make "panic" stops. Pervious concrete meets or exceeds the friction value for grooved dense concrete, and exceeds wet asphalt by a factor of 4 in wet conditions.
