[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All I know is that my segment of Old Georgetown Rd in downtown Bethesda is ALWAYS full of potholes because there is simply too much traffic, and weighty at that, in the forms of buses and large trucks.

I imagine other areas with potholes have to deal with a lot of trucks.[/quote]

Me again. I drive several times a week to Silver Spring, in parts around the downtown, and there are no potholes to speak of compared to my segment of Old G.

Again, aside from developers subsidizing portions of roads, and some highways being maintained on a different schedule by the state, I think it all has to do with the truck traffic, dependent on urbanization and construction flux. Some portions of lower-income but not necessarily densely urban neighborhoods have a lot of residents working in construction, who drive their own trucks, so that factors in as well.[/quote]

This is basically it and it’s not just OGR. MacArthur is a disgrace. Bradley is a disgrace, except for a section that needed to be replaced due to a water main break. Falls Rd. Etc, etc. [/quote]
