Pavement skid resistance tests are usually performed to obtain the results for Pavement Management Systems (PMS), hence to assess the road pavement technical condition. In this paper the assumptions to identify the skid resistance uniform section of pavement have been checked. Two pavements, concrete and asphalt ones, were subjected to tests. On the first location the marking length has been identified from skid resistance tests and on the second one the length of stuck foil spread with organic oil. The results of accuracy and precision do not exceeded 5% in both cases.
