One of the things they suggest is to create a list of the roads we especially don't want rumbled. I can say I absolutely don't want them to rumble any road with less than four feet of useable remaining shoulder per AASHTO guidelines but that's not good enough anymore. Mapmyride works great for this. You can create an easily understood route RPM consultants can access. You can also place in the comment the reason this is a particularly bad road to rumble.
