PAVE YOUR DAMN ROADS! Here is a check-off list. If your roads meet any of the two criteria below, you must move your pavement projects forward immediately.
1. Potholes the size of Manhattan, literally.
2. Missing traffic lines due to missing pavement.
3. Unfinished projects such as grated yet unpaved roads.
4. Roller coaster pavement. You know the kind, up down, side to side, heads to the ceiling and back to the right again... all while driving a straight line.
5. The drivers of your roads catch air going the speed limit or below.
6. Roads that make it sound like one is riding a galloping horse (No paving in twenty foot blocks).
7. Improperly banked roadways. There's nothing more time consuming or deadly as a semi flipping to it's side.
8. Overly narrow roads. These require more upkeep to prevent accidents.
9. Roadways that collect water the size of miniature lakes during a typical summer thunderstorm.
10. One cannot decipher whether they are looking at roadway or guard-rail.
While you are repairing the safety hazards of your roadways, you may consider making cell phone use while driving illegal without a hands free device.
The last suggestion to conclude this report addresses the signage issue. Repair your signs. Test out thier usefulness by using drivers not familiar with your system. This includes but is not limited to exit numbers matching mile post numbers and making sure the posted speed limit is possible with the quality of your roadways.
Thank you. That is all for now.
