I Hate Our Freeways

[GeneW]

We're riddled with potholes around here. Whenever someone talks of raising their tire pressures to 40psi and up I just sigh and wish I could too.

I'm running the "max" 50psi. Actually, I'm really running 52 psi.

I can usually avoid the pot holes, but that sudden raised section on the freeway is unavoidable. I'll just stick to the lesser of four evils. hehe...the slow lane has the lowest raised section.

Is the "curb" there because they ground down the roadway in anticipation of a repave, or is it because the roadbed has settled more than the bridge? I know on US-101 in San Fernando Valley the latter has occurred. It sucks going through there because every bridge has the curb effect on each end (bump up, then jolt down).

I think it may be a little bit of both. I know it's gotten worse over the past year. I've also notice that they don't repave the overpasses????? Unless they're doing them last????
