The Risks & Costs of Unrepaired Potholes
Potholes cause punctured tyres, bent wheel rims, and suspension damage, leading to costly repairs for drivers.
Potholes increase the risk of accidents, especially for cyclists and motorcyclists who may lose control when hitting one. There can also be a significant economic impact; Poor road conditions can disrupt transportation, affecting businesses, logistics, and daily commutes.
According to the Asphalt Industry Alliance (AIA) ALARM Survey, the cost of fixing potholes in the UK has surged, with local authorities facing a significant backlog of road repairs. The survey highlights that the UK needs over £14 billion to bring the road network up to standard, with reactive repairs costing councils millions every year. Furthermore, it reports that pothole-related compensation claims from drivers continue to rise, demonstrating the financial burden of neglected roads.
How Potholes Form
Stage 1: Surface Cracks
Small cracks appear due to traffic load and natural wear.
Stage 2: Water Penetration
Water enters the cracks, loosening the foundation underneath.
Stage 3: Freeze-Thaw Effect
In cold weather, water freezes and expands, making cracks bigger.
Stage 4: Heavy Traffic Impact
Constant vehicle movement weakens the road further.
Stage 5: Pothole Formation
The road structure fails, creating a pothole that grows over time.
