Agreed. Whenever I use that road I always worry someone in the opposing direction will be in my line not because of the curvature of the road but rather because they are swerving to avoid the potholes.

As far as the condition of the actual city streets, that is due to a generation or more of disinvestment. It’s a bigger issue than just Pgh...its at a state and national level too. For some reason those in charge for the past 50 years weren’t interested in actually maintaining anything.
This exactly. Only recently has there been any money to actually maintain our infrastructure. Now officials are just trying to fix the worst of the worst. Over time they will catch up, but it's not going to happen overnight.

In the past week they've filled in the craters, used too much and now we have bumps that are worse than the original holes.

Can't win.
