Yikes.... Another reminder of how bad our roads are around here. Unbelievably bad, really.

Default 4 inch wide slice of pavement gone across all lanes of Park near Lincoln in San Jose.

Must be a few inches deep at least. Wheel buster if I ever saw one.

Yikes again! I work at Park and Almaden, so I'll be extra careful if I venture out of normal bounds

No frost heave in pavement here at least, but SoCal is better than NorCal, in many ways.

Default OK, I'll tough it out and try to ignore tax money going to waste...

When I moved to SoCal from the mid-west in 1978, California roads were the envy of most other states. Doesn't seem to be the case now, especially here up north.

As for Boston, my in-laws usually drive us around when we're there, so I'm blissfully ignorant of the mess.

Drive down I5 from the Bay area to LA in the truck lane?
