Which city has the potholes in the us?

Having driven in many cities in the US I would have to say that Detroit Michigan has some of the worst roads in the country. I drive a lot in the state of Oklahoma. In Tulsa, the roads are really bad and uneven. Potholes there range anywhere from 1' to 6' in diameter and up to 2' deep in some places. Those potholes are just the ones located on paved roads. Some dirt or gravel roads have had up to half of the road missing after a big storm."During the fiscal year 2000-01, 83,613 potholes were repaired." That was from a report given by the city, on the conditions of roads in Tulsa. Those numbers, however, are just an estimate of the potholes that have been reported as repaired according to city maintenance records. There are still more potholes that haven't been reported, fixed, or are on roads that the city isn't responsible for maintaining.

How do you fix a pothole?

Potholes are an increasingly common problem associated with roads. They have become a great source of irritation for most local councils and municipalities, as they do not generally have the people and materials to effectively fix them. Although it is easy to repair potholes, when repairs are made incorrectly the potholes quickly reopen and become a recurring problem, wasting valuable of resources.

How many people joined the police in the Victorians?

During the Victorian era, the number of people who joined the police force varied depending on location and population size. In London, for example, the Metropolitan Police Force was established in 1829 and gradually grew in numbers to meet the needs of the expanding city. Other cities and towns also established their own police forces during this period to maintain law and order.


Freezing and thawing cycle that causes potholes in roads and breaks in rocks?

Freeze/thaw cycle doesn't create potholes. It creates cracks on pavement. Potholes form when water, whether from melting snow, rain or frost thawing gets into the cracks in the pavement and cause the road base to shift and develop voids just under the pavement. When this occurs, the weight of vehicles causes the pavement to crumble causing potholes.
