Road Conditions

Hugoneus · 02-27-2010, 12:19 PM

I apologize in advance for this rant:

What the fck is up with the roads in NJ/NY area? There are potholes bigger than Pamela Anderson's breasts every 30 feet. I have been to third world countries that have had better roads. This is embarrassing. Every ramp into and off the high way is in such a poor quality that I am afraid of getting off highways! Not that the highways themselves are any better, on my way to NYC, it felt like I was off-roading. Why is it that the state/city has money to hire a million cops in every damn county, but not enough money to fix our roads?

Did ya'll recently get a crap ton of snow? I don't know about you, but here in Memphis the situation was much the same. The weather was so much worse than usual, and the roads couldn't handle it. Our main interstate looked like a minefield for over a week, before they finally got around to patching the damn things.

These potholes and disgusting road conditions were there before the snow. They have been there since I moved here in Oct.

It is not because the snow, the ton of snow is making it worst. But NJ/NY roads just plain SUCKS!

I drove up there when I had my 350Z and my car came back with rattles everywhere. I tought I was in a circuit track trying to go around the potholes and the bad design of the roads all over NJ.

I understand that. I was jukin' and juvin' all over the lanes to avoid the worst of them. Kept expecting blue lights in my rearview, but then...I wasn't the only one playing "defensive driver", heh

Yesterday, a woman in front of me hit a large pothole on the offramp. She nearly went off the road, when I passed her, she was in tears. I am going to write a letter about this particular pothole. Shame on our city officials.

It's the same here in Honolulu, there's parts of town I don't go due to the potholes that could swallow my Mini...

During the day, I can try to doge them. But at night, they can take you by surprise. And I find myself swearing at everything for about 10 minutes. And by that time, I will hit another one. So the whole time I am driving I am swearing! Fck! I have to get my nerves under control.

I'm the same way, people behind me probably think I drunk but I'm just swerving around all those pot holes.

I guess the roads are full of potholes here in PA but I wouldn't know as they have been snow covered for weeks now! This whole winter scene has become absolutely unacceptable. I'm just about ready to pack it in and move to Southern Florida.

This.

There are some down in South Jersey but it is nowhere near this bad at all -- and they are fixed within the day, usually.
