  Road and driveway maintenance

I think it would be tough to find a book on your particular
climate and soil conditions.
I would suggest a local road commisioner. one with a least
twenty years behind him.
One thing I think would apply anywhere is that water is the enemy. Get it off and keep it away as fast as possible.
In other words, crown the surface and ditch it to keep it as dry as possible.
Good luck!

  Road and driveway maintenance

Does your subdivision have a name, recorded at the registry,
collect common area dues,File a non-profit with the IRS,?
I would notify my insurance company in writing and get an
answer in writing. My wife and I built our first house in a
recorded sub-division about ten houses on the lake. I plowed the road
as I was in the plowing business. We also had a common beach area
which brought up the subject of liability at one of our assc. meetings.
Upon consulting with a lawyer it was recommended that anyone we hired
(plowing, grading,cutting,etc had to provide proof of Commercial insurance.
Murf hit the nail right on the head "shotgun litigation".

It may be tough to prove any of the homeowners liable, but
your property(clear Title) is clouded while any potential claims wait to get to court. Here in Maine I would dare say that would be 2-4 yrs.
This is how it was explained to me by my "liar" I mean Lawyer. He is in the process of Incorporating my small construction business and taking my name off the deed.
It is a sad state of affairs but we are where we are.

Carl
I can relate to your road situation. If the base is not
mud, at some point I realized it is easier to spend your time and money adding gravel.
This will also create ditches.
