Defective Roadways
Poorly designed and maintained roads are the cause of thousands of auto accidents each year. Unfortunately, no road maintenance standard exists due to the fact that road maintenance schedules and procedures vary greatly from city to city and state to state. The lack of regulation often leads to defects and problems with our roads, which may result in accidents.

Accidents may often be cause by:
- Debris on the roadway
- Faded road signs, and signs obscured by foliage, occasionally contribute to accidents. If you know of any offending signs, contact your local police department.
- Potholes cause a small number of accidents (primarily tire & suspension failures). Call the police to get large dangerous holes attended to. Some Northern US cities have pothole complaint lines that are active during the winter and spring.
- The construction of new roads in often the cause of accidents. Usually, speeding fines are doubled in work zones, making it expensive as well as unsafe to speed. Stop-and-go traffic requires thoughtful, alert driving to avoid a collision with the car in front of you. The real problem is that drivers forget about the vehicle directly in front, rear-ending it while looking in their rearview mirror or daydreaming. Leave plenty of room between your car and the one directly in front of you.
- Many wintertime accidents are a result of inadequate salting or sanding of icy roadways.
