I feel like I'm running a slalom in my car! Big gaps in the concrete slabs which are almost impossible to avoid since most run the width of the road, water from the melting snow hiding many crushing holes on the side of the road. Highways seem fine, but the secondary roads around Boston...whew, high alert!
Holy holes in the road!

It's probably like that everywhere big snowfall has occurred this year. Some of the roads in my area look like the Ho Chi Minh trail. There's one spot where a pothole turned into a crater about 36 square feet across and I saw a Lexus hit it, and the rear end of the car actually got air as the suspension unwound!
It seems to be worse here than I ever remember. This winter season we have had a lot of freeze/thaw cycles - I think that contributes to it more than anything else.
I've hit a few killer pot holes.

This could be the worst I've ever seen it here in southeastern PA. The roads are totally torn up with potholes... and this is Potholesylvania. Even the highways. I noticed the potholes seem to form just before & after every bridge on the local bypass.
P.S. I like the amazon sign.

It sure has gotten bad. I was driving through Valley Forge PA area today and there were spots where all traffic had to stop because there were so many holes that the cars HAD to dump through them to continue on!

I sure don't miss the part of the North East.
I don't remember the roads where I live ever being this bad. The tire shops are making a fortune.
Michigan hwys are like a obstacle course I hit a pot hole the other day I thought it broke the ball joint.
Same here in southern Wisconsin. Our secondary county roads are horrible, worse than I've ever seen. Work crews are going to be busy come spring.
My grandmother, years ago, said the State of Maine decided that the potholes were so bad, it would be cheaper just to stock them with fish.
Take a trip up to Minneapolis, if you want to see destruction.
The potholes here are just like the city itself: depressed, full of water, rimmed with mud, and ugly.
