Construction Zones

I feel that Shullsburg should fix their roads because it would help renew our community, while making it safer for our citizens. Renovating our roads would make the community more presentable. I have been through many towns and they have many great structures, but the roads make the town seem unsanitary and filthy. When the streets are not filled with potholes and cracks, the town looks immaculate. Roads do not

You might have heard recently that the United States Trust Fund is currently experiencing a solvency issue due to an increased cost associated with financing road projects. The members of the United States Congress, as well as numerous other influential leaders, have been discussing means of addressing this “broken” Highway Trust Fund. This issue has been consistently thrown on the back burner for some time and due to this procrastination an issue that would have been an easy fix a few years ago has now ballooned into a much larger issue. Lately it seems like every time I turn on the news I have seen news reports of bridges collapsing and pot holes getting worse, it scary to think that I will one day have children driving on these roads if

I’m very passionate about this topic because on my way home everyday the roads are very bad. Last year balfours parking lot was so bad that I couldn’t even drive 10 kilometres/hour without my car bouncing, it ruined my cars suspension and I had to pay thirteen hundred dollars to get it fixed. There have been times when there would would be a huge pothole and they don’t put a pylon on or near it, next thing you know you bottom out your car. They are wasting all their money on the new stadium, their budget is no good. Regina roads have been super bad for so long.

In Michigan, we hear about our roads either at parties while talking to someone and seeing it on TV. In Michigan, people are always complaining about every bump, every pothole, and every crack on the roads that they drive everyday. No question we all hear about the roads and when are they going to be fixed and most of the time we don't know. There have been many tests done to our roads, and citizens have been multiple surveys done by individual companies on our roads, and finally we have statistics to show why people hate these roads in Michigan, and why they need to be fixed right away.

Houston traffic goes really slow during rush hour ,but now that there is road construction all over the city makes it worse. Every morning that most people have to go to work, school or other places traffic adds up but if a lane is taken away from the roads people have to slow down and merge. Traffic is so bad that a twenty minute drive can end up as an hour or more of drive time. Traffic is on major roads but construction makes it worse then in some places its not finished ,but a new construction still starts. Numerically the same about the same people drive but in any day a new driver can be the road and add to the traffic. If the construction could be finished or work in a smaller scale it could have a possitive effect on the Houston traffic.

Every day when I drive on south Mill road, I am constantly identifying new potholes to avoid. Portions of the White Horse Pike that run through Absecon are not much better. These are some of the most used roads in Absecon and yet they don’t get the maintenance they deserve. Meanwhile, streets like Ohio avenue and Pitney Road have been paved more times in the last 5 years then South Mill Road has been paved in nearly 20 years.

Maine and New Hampshire’s highways are a valuable resource that needs to be protected. Sadly, these beautiful roads are being constantly damaged by weather and traffic. These highways will benefit from a comprehensive plan for both the near and long terms. This may include new bridges and overpasses. However, this may put a large strain on MDOT and NHDOT finances.

I never knew that going the normal speed limit 65 wasn’t allowed when the construction workers weren’t working. I ended up getting pulled over and having to pay a very expensive speeding ticket. I could still see the signs saying speed limit 65 the police officer said it didn’t matter and proceeded to give me the speeding ticket anyways. After having to deal with that I found myself wondering how life is for a road construction worker. So the first thought that came into my mind was do these hard working men and women speed themselves in a road construction

Every person that has operated a vehicle before, or has seen a vehicle operated, understands that while driving is a very convenient mode of transportation, it can also be extremely dangerous for vehicle operators and people near the roads which vehicles are operated on. These dangers are suppressed by the rules and regulations imposed by our governments. While some laws on roadways seem to be a nuisance to drivers, they are there for a reason, to keep us safe. One specific roadway area that the government is very concerned with keeping safe would be construction zones. Currently the fines and punishments for drivers who are ticketed and/or are involved in accidents in work zones are higher than they are in regular roadway areas. The question that this essay will explore is whether or not these higher fines are appropriate.

In the place I live, a rural community in Florida, the roads are a disaster. Potholes are about as

There is a call to improve the roads in this small town in Calimesa, and after the last sudden burst of rainfall we received recently, the roads are in some really bad shape. The funds would be better used to repair the existing roads, and it would likely be less costly and would require no land

It’s a smooth bus ride until we turn onto New Haven. BUMP! BUMP! We bounce down the road, clinging to our belongings so that they won’t fly everywhere. To improve our community of Floyd, I suggest that more roads, such as New Haven, need to be paved. Floyd has been honored by national polls for best small towns, but tourists don’t want to drive down unpaved roads! Setting a smooth, solid surface would improve everyone’s safety as well. Better roads would benefit us all!

America was once a land of infrastructure greatness, from the first railroads built in the 1830’s to the national interstate system that opened in 1991. Americans are constantly working to find the best transit options available, the problem in the 21st century is that most all roads are growing old and failing. There have been hundreds of cases of bridges collapsing, sinkholes opening, and even major traffic jams. All of these things serve as either a minor or major inconvenience to the American public.

There is a wide range of community problems that exist in the city of El Paso, Texas ranging from gender, violence, education, and even health. Yet, there is a greater issue that usually everyone notices and falls victim for but is mostly unthought of and ignored by many due to the impotence of finding a solution to it. This problematic issue is the road-work going on all around the community. Whether it consists of fixing something as simple as a street light to adding new rails, pavement, or sidewalks these projects become a lifetime of problems to all the members of the city. These projects have a timeline that is mostly never met due to the poor management of time and of working conditions that come along with the projects.

While this may not seem like a large issue to some, it mattered to the citizens and added value to their lives by limiting damage to vehicles and reducing commuting time. This project went on to be used by the State of Indiana Department of Transportation and other cities around the country in reducing their own responses to filling pot holes.
