One of the many frustrations motorists face on South African roads is the danger of potholes. Cape Town estimates to be fixing an estimate of 260 potholes per week during rainy seasons. We can only speculate that the number is significantly higher in Gauteng.
Potholes are commonplace throughout SA and are often the cause of hefty repair bills. Not only can hitting one seriously damage your vehicle but they can lead to deadly crashes. Sadly, as is the case with most service delivery issues, local governments are often slow in remedying the situation.
The Solution
Potholes can be remedied or prevented by:
- using quality design and construction techniques
- timely implementing pavement preservation treatments of aging roads
- continuously sealing the road surfaces against moisture intrusion
- sealing cracks and interfaces between road lanes and edges
- properly patching and sealing of utility cuts
