State of the roads near you

[obi_waynne]

I think the mild winter has meant there are much fewer potholes.

Our roads around here are still in a pitiful state but they at least don't seem to be much worse after the winter compared to before unlike last year.

What's the situation where you are then?

Pathetic is all i've got to say.

Not too bad around Northamptonshire imo. Gotta agree with fewer pot holes (that reminds me... I need to do my tax).

 

[davalav]

Not bad here either... Only moan is that the council did a really awful job on reparing the holes!

 

[gummy]

Main roads not to bad,some sideroads and lanes are not good its like driving on dirt tracks!!.

Roads are not very good down here in East London, some potholes still remain unrepaired from last years big frost. Even one of the main artery roads into central London which is barely two miles from Westminster - Lower Thames St & Upper Thames Street are more like a car manufacturers proving road for rough terrain suspension setups! :blink:

Some bad ones by me, I can't believe how quickly some have deteriorated since the last cold snap.

Not too bad if i do say so myself. We have alot of moutains around my part of Oz and highways for cruising so its a great mix of both

That's like round here. Some craters that go that deep you'd need a crane to get you out.

I think I went down that one and it claimed a piece of my alloy wheel :sad2:

 

[turbonutter69]

My mum did it the other year to my Focus.
I'd only had it 10 months. :sad2:

And the culprit.

 

[T9 man]

Ouch! :sad2:

What makes it worse Big T is that it happened chrstmas day.
I'd been in the pub most of the day then had dinner at my mums and that happened on the way to taking me home.
Had to change the wheel half cut.

I have to paid money to see that!

 

[turbonutter69]

I would of took your money and then proceed to land one on the end of your nose. :amuse:

Things have picked up here, the roads are still bad but better than they were, at least the main roads have been properly resurfaced. It's the minor side roads that are full of potholes and cracks.

Well they haven't improved one of the main roads by me! But they have put a slow down, uneven Road sign up wich has helped loads, so instead of doing the posted national speed limit 40mph. It must have changed without competent drivers being notified? So now the majority of driver's are now doing 30mph. And this is no lie I witnessed a lorry actually overtake a car doing this the other day! I really can't comprehend how bad the majority of drivers out there are!
