Uneven Pavement
Traveling on major roadways, many drivers expect few complications from the road itself. Maybe the drive is a little bumpy, but the potential disasters associated with road defects are rarely foreseen. In the case of uneven pavement, the highway can cause a driver to lose control of his or her vehicle, pulling the car in one direction or the other. This lack of control of the vehicle can cause drivers to either overcompensate on their wheel or even to be pulled unexpectedly out of their own lane.

How Uneven Pavement Develops
Knowing what to expect is an integral part of any safety plan. To help protect against the dangers of uneven pavement, understanding its root causes can prepare you in case of a roadside incident. Here are some of the potential causes of uneven pavement:
- Unfinished or poorly finished roadwork or construction projects
- High-density traffic patterns
- Heavy or constant precipitation, namely ice
- Changes between strong weather patterns, i.e. cold winters and hot summers
When considering these factors, problems with uneven pavement in America are less of a surprise. Much of the country undergoes fairly cold winters, seeing snow and ice at some point during the season, and fairly warm summers, often seeing a few days with state-issued heat advisories. To compound these problems, the growth of American urban centers, many which are already considerably large populations, have brought about an increase in traffic and a need for more repairs.
