Fort Lauderdale Road Hazards
In Fort Lauderdale, road hazards contribute to an already stressful driving situation. In Fort Lauderdale, Miami, and the rest of South Florida, driving is already stressful thanks to the morning commute, heavy traffic, and other dangers. When you add in potholes, wheel ruts, debris on the roads, and other road dangers, the result is not only more stress and more driver aggression, but also a greater risk of car and truck accidents. Motorcyclists are especially vulnerable to debris on the roads as well as to uneven roads and wheel ruts.

How do Road Hazards Lead to Car Accidents?There are many types of road hazards that can lead to serious accidents and injuries:
- Potholes
- Uneven roads
- Poorly designed roads
- Malfunctioning or missing traffic signals
- Narrow lanes
- Poor visibility due to overgrown bushes and trees
- Debris on the road
- Road construction with poor signage
- Road construction that leaves debris and other dangers on the road
- Poorly maintained roads
Unfortunately, these types of issues can affect everyone. They are especially common as a cause of motorcycle accidents in Fort Lauderdale and other communities, since motorcyclists may be more affected by potholes and uneven road conditions. However, even someone in a car can easily be in a fatal or serious car accident due to poorly designed roads that do little to prevent serious accidents.
