Description: One of the most annoying parts of driving... There are definitely times when driving does not feel that luxurious, and one of them is something we’ve all experienced once or twice. Pavement is one of the highest value assets owned by a City, County, or DOT. It’s essential, and it’s expensive, which means there’s an entire industry surrounding how to design, build, and maintain roadways as safely and cost-effectively as possible. Politicians, government officials, engineers, and contractors drive on the same roads as everyone else, so they all have a vested interest in keeping those roads as pothole-free as possible so that we all can enjoy the luxury of driving on paved streets in safety and comfort. -Patreon: patreon.com/PracticalEngineering -Website: practical.engineering Writing/Editing/Production: Grady Hillhouse Editing and Direction Help: Wesley Crump This video is sponsored by Brilliant.
