Assignment 3
A problem in my community regarding transportation engineering within
the city is that I have noticed that there has been an increase in potholes within
the few years. These potholes are very dangerous since they may cause damages
to our cars and potentially increase accidents in the future. I believe that the
potholes are a key indicator of the measures of performance in which our
community needs to build up upon. These potholes are a reason as to why we
have rough street surfaces. This shows us that within our area the measure of
performance tends to be lacking in the quality of our roads here in Los Angeles.
We notice that this is due to the constant use of various transportation systems
within the city as well as the influence of ground water. These potholes can
eventually damage car tires which can puncture the car’s tires. With the car’s tires
being punctured this can increase accidents within our community which can
potentially kill many innocent civilians.
