Potholes and Road Damage Effects Cars Daily
2
A pothole is created when cars drive through the
road and it creates a crack, and those cracks
soak with water when it is raining.
3
When motor cars pass over the road, it forces
the water to push further down the cracks in the
road.
4
Eventually water will sink into the eroding
parts of the road.
5
Once water sinks into the eroded portions of the
roadbed, the cracks come loose from the heavy
impact of vehicle tires.
6
Potholes impact many drivers on the road every
day.
7
This article is going to help you understand how
potholes impact motor cars, and provide some
solutions to pothole problems.

Potholes and Road Damage
9
Poor quality of road conditions in cities can
cause more than just aggravation.
10
There are safety services doing the best they
can to help residents solve their pothole issues.
11
The biggest challenge for safety services is
because they are lacking of manpower.
12
This is due to not enough tax revenue to cover
the costs and equipment for these services.
13
Another fact about this pothole problem is the
density of potholes throughout the entire city.
14
Some cities have a high density of cars on a
daily basis.
15
High traffic volumes generate more impact on the
roads which creates more potholes in a shorter
time.
16
Besides a lack of manpower, average cities have
4 to 5 individuals dedicated to potholes repairs
every day.
17
A temporary patch with a cold fix will last
about six months to a year, depending on the
density of traffic.
18
A pothole can easily cause maintenance issues,
such as alignment.
19
Alignment costs for car and trucks means more
time and money motorist have to spend.
20
Even worst, potholes can scrap and damage oil
pans or transmissions or anything underneath the
car.
21
Handling The Pothole Problem
22
The solution for pothole damages is for local
governments and cities to add more funding for
safety services and pothole repairs.
23
Any major fix will take time, and it will cause
an inconvenience for drivers because it will
increase traffic during theses road repairs.
24
Although, when these repairs are finished, it
will improve the road quality a lot longer than
just a temporary patch for maybe 6 to 12 months.
25
Civil engineers are working hard to improve the
road quality with different studies in materials.
26
They hope one day there is a permanent solution
to this pothole problem, so every driver on the
road can drive with confidence without ever
having to worrying about potholes again.
