Oh my gosh! They are horrible this year. We need monies going towards getting these pot holes fixed. They need to resurface more whole road areas and stop with the bandaid repair on these pot holes.

How are the roads where you live?

Not too good. Plus we have those above ground reflectors that separate the lanes. The plows this year broke many of them off the road. They cost something like $7 EACH to replace.

Terrible!!! My neighbor ruined the rim on his tire the other day. These holes are so deep you have to go other ways to get to where you are going.

The roads are AWFUL! I'm surprised we haven't gotten flat tires yet.

They are unavoidable for the most part around here --- especially on the highways. They are HUGE and deep. Very upsetting!!

There is going to be a massive repair here this spring, I'm sure. They have to do something.

They are huge. Luckily in the day you can see them.

Gee, I thought we were the only ones with cr@ppy roads. The same money is there that has always been there (property taxes, etc), so why would the roads not be fixed. Where is the existing road money going?

In Michigan some of our roads were bad before this cold winter. We all pay enough in taxes to fix the roads. I just wish Michigan would use the same contractors that Indiana uses on their highways. When we drive from Indiana back to Michigan the road conditions are night and day! It's actually hilarious.

The roads in SW Michigan look like you could easily loose a bus in one of those holes. I've driven on quite a few with so many holes that they look like they've been carpet bombed, but then the roads here always seem to be in sorry shape.

Here in Fl. potholes are not too much of a problem - no freeze thaw cycle - but we have heard that the road at our campground in Pa has been washed out and we won't be able to get up there until they regrade and put down gravel sometime in the spring. So we can't go ""home"" until they get it done. Bummer. My niece went up to the campground to check on the camper for us and they had to walk up the steep hill to our site because the road was not passable. We are waiting for a return call from the campground owner about when she thinks she will have it open.
