Potholes and Road Damage Effects Cars Daily

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.

When motor cars pass over the road, it forces the water to push further down the cracks in the road.

Eventually water will sink into the eroding parts of the road.

Once water sinks into the eroded portions of the roadbed, the cracks come loose from the heavy impact of vehicle
tires.

Potholes impact many drivers on the road every
day.

This article is going to help you understand how potholes impact motor cars, and provide some solutions to pothole
problems.

Potholes and Road Damage
![Page 9: Potholes and road damage effects cars daily](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022103004/55d2e7e9bb61eb8d3c8b45c5/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Poor quality of road conditions in cities can cause more than just aggravation.
![Page 10: Potholes and road damage effects cars daily](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022103004/55d2e7e9bb61eb8d3c8b45c5/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
There are safety services doing the best they can to help residents solve their pothole issues.
![Page 11: Potholes and road damage effects cars daily](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022103004/55d2e7e9bb61eb8d3c8b45c5/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
The biggest challenge for safety services is because
they are lacking of manpower.
![Page 12: Potholes and road damage effects cars daily](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022103004/55d2e7e9bb61eb8d3c8b45c5/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
This is due to not enough tax revenue to cover the costs and equipment for these services.
![Page 13: Potholes and road damage effects cars daily](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022103004/55d2e7e9bb61eb8d3c8b45c5/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Another fact about this pothole problem is the density of potholes throughout the entire city.
![Page 14: Potholes and road damage effects cars daily](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022103004/55d2e7e9bb61eb8d3c8b45c5/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Some cities have a high density of cars on a daily basis.
![Page 15: Potholes and road damage effects cars daily](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022103004/55d2e7e9bb61eb8d3c8b45c5/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
High traffic volumes generate more impact on the roads which creates more potholes in a shorter time.
![Page 16: Potholes and road damage effects cars daily](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022103004/55d2e7e9bb61eb8d3c8b45c5/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Besides a lack of manpower, average cities have 4 to 5 individuals dedicated to potholes repairs every day.
![Page 17: Potholes and road damage effects cars daily](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022103004/55d2e7e9bb61eb8d3c8b45c5/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
A temporary patch with a cold fix will last about six months to a year, depending on the density of traffic.

A pothole can easily cause maintenance issues, such as alignment.
![Page 19: Potholes and road damage effects cars daily](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022103004/55d2e7e9bb61eb8d3c8b45c5/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Alignment costs for car and trucks means more time and money motorist have to spend.

Even worst, potholes can scrap and damage oil pans or transmissions or anything underneath the car.

Handling The Pothole Problem
![Page 22: Potholes and road damage effects cars daily](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022103004/55d2e7e9bb61eb8d3c8b45c5/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
The solution for pothole damages is for local governments and cities to add more funding for safety services and
pothole repairs.
![Page 23: Potholes and road damage effects cars daily](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022103004/55d2e7e9bb61eb8d3c8b45c5/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Any major fix will take time, and it will cause an inconvenience for drivers because it will increase traffic
during theses road repairs.
![Page 24: Potholes and road damage effects cars daily](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022103004/55d2e7e9bb61eb8d3c8b45c5/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
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.
![Page 25: Potholes and road damage effects cars daily](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022103004/55d2e7e9bb61eb8d3c8b45c5/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Civil engineers are working hard to improve the road quality with different studies in materials.
![Page 26: Potholes and road damage effects cars daily](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022103004/55d2e7e9bb61eb8d3c8b45c5/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
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.
