Jacksonville's roadways are above average (construction, maintenance, sinkholes)

I always thought our roads were well-maintained, better than what I remember from driving up North.

A new study shows that Jacksonville's roads are above the national average:

Yeah, my first impression too was that the roadways here were well maintained compared to up north.

I think that the ice and the salt that snow crews use up north to tackle the ice have alot to do with all the potholes so I was surprised that Boston would beat out Jacksonville, but I guess it all comes down to maintenance.

yeah....no ice....no plows....equals good roads. I miss potholes!!

I say keep it way above national avg and fix them pot holes and cracked on the highway.

Here we get sinkholes, so it's mother nature beating up the roads in a different way!

Besides all the never-ending construction around town, I think our roads are pretty good.
