Defective Road design or defects on a street, road, or highway can cause serious motor vehicle accidents involving one or more vehicles. Some common Defective Road problems include improperly graded curves, poor lighting, poor drainage, missing signs or guardrails, potholes or uneven pavement, malfunctioning traffic lights, inadequate shoulders, insufficient medians, or improperly marked construction zones. Safe road design requires that motorists have ample time to see, process, and react to road conditions and situations. When these conditions are not met, state agencies or municipalities may be held responsible for their negligence and failure to design and maintain safe, secure roads for drivers, motorcyclists, and bikers.
