Pot holes are a major part of highway road maintenance. Pot holes are a major problem on rural roads and highways all over the United States. The big problem that is causing the potholes on the highways is when moisture enters the highway pavement, and then when the highway freezes the highways expand, drastic thawing creates the potholes. After thawing and heavy traffic the pavement will loosen. Highways will have multiple potholes when that takes place. All over the United States county employees and county equipment are being used to repair the pot holes on the highways with restricted budgets to fix the highways. (Potholes, n.d.) There have been studies on how Pot holes affect drivers and there vehicles. The studies have revealed that one out of five drivers admitted to swerving into oncoming traffic to avoid …show more content…
Potholes are rated in how they are fixed and when they will get fixed based on the traffic volume, the importance of the highway to the community. Highways with a lot of traffic or that are major corridors for people that effect emergency services, police, and routes to and from the hospitals. The second thing that takes precedent would be highways that give access to schools and businesses since there is a high volume of traffic coming and going from places like these. Last but not least would be the rural highways and lesser traveled highways. With the limited funds counties and states prioritize what gets fixed first and set their priorities. If there is found that there is an extremely dangerous situation with a pothole crews will be on site immediately to fix the problem. It doesn't matter what time of the day it is, emergency situations get taken care of right away. In a normal situation highway pot holes that get reported are fixed in one to two business days depending on the prioritization of the workload. (Potholes,
by trying to change one thing. When we, the readers, break apart Wilbur's poem, we find the continuous acknowledgement of religion. The person in the poem works day and night trying to reach China. He/she was on hands and knees trying to dig this hole. "It was a sort of praying, I suspect." (Lines 12-13) This person is realizing that they have to look other places for their "paradise" they are trying to find, so they look to God. When they do this, they are covered in brightness. Wilbur uses the
Illusion and Reality in Arthur Miller's Death of a Salesman In Arthur Miller’s Death of a Salesman, Willy is depicted as living in his own world. The play centers around the end of Willy’s life, when the real world comes crashing through, ruining the false reality he had created for himself and his family. Throughout the play, Willy Loman uses the concept of being well liked to build a false image of reality, as shown through his teachings to his son, what he considers successful, and his reasoning
proper bit for the project he/she is working on. The intended use of the drill bits is quite easy to understand. Like the drill bits in found in a simple hand drill, all drill bits are intended to make a hole. The major difference being that you are drilling in rock formations and the hole is 5-30 inches in diameter. These are the two main factors in determining which type of drill bit that should be selected. There are many categories and sub categories of drill bits that drill into rock formations

over a bubbling hole, that hole was releasing water that to them was salty and smelled as if it had a high sulfur content. This water would be known as Saratoga mineral water. Saratoga residents baked spring water bread for Washington and his men, with out adding any salt or yeast and yet within a matter of minutes the bread rose. George Washington was considered to be Saratoga’s first visitor or tourist on that day. Almost fifty years before Washington came to this watering hole the Mohawk Indians
Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland Chapter I - Down the Rabbit-Hole Image: Lewis Carroll Alice was beginning to get very tired of sitting by her sister on the bank, and of having nothing to do: once or twice she had peeped into the book her sister was reading, but it had no pictures or conversations in it, `and what is the use of a book,' thought Alice `without pictures or conversation?' Image: Bessie Pease Gutmann, 1907 So she was considering in her own mind (as well as she could, for the hot

Dig that hole ..." the farm hand (Scarecrow) points to the ground as if telling Dorothy to dig a hole. 8) "... Balanced on the biggest wave ..." Dorothy is balancing herself on the fence. 9) "... Race towards an early grave." is said at the moment just before Dorothy falls off the fence rail. ["...
rhetorically asks, "What happens to the hole when the cheese is gone?" This line operates on the three essential layers of the play: the level of the character, of the playwright (plot), and of the audience. On "face" value, this line is said about peace. The chaplain believes that the image of peace as the norm and war as an abnormal event is backward. He sees war as the standard occurrence (the cheese) and peace as merely an interim incidence (the holes in the cheese). Thus peace is nothing without
Holes Stanley Yelnats, a boy who has bad luck due to a curse placed on his great- great-grandfather, is sent to Camp Green Lake, a juvenile detention camp, for a crime he did not commit. Stanley and the other boys at the camp are forced to dig large holes in the dirt every day. Stanley eventually realizes that they are digging these holes because the Warden is searching for something. As Stanley continues to dig holes and meet the other boys at the camp, the narrator intertwines three separate stories
molecules is large compared with the diameter of the orifice� (�effusion�). In other words, effusion is the flow of individual gas molecules through a hole that is smaller than the mean free path, which is �the average distance [a] particle travels between collisions with other particles� (�Mean free path�). This means that in effusing through the hole the gas molecules do not collide with one another. ef�fu�sion �noun One of the postulates of the Kinetic Molecular Theory states that average kinetic
The book Holes by Louis Sachar is about Stanley Yelnat, a kid with a lot of bad luck. Stanley is convicted of a crime he did not commit. He is sent to Camp Green Lake, a juvenile detention camp in the desert that has no lake. Stanley’s bad luck lands him at the camp and he feels that he carries a curse that began with his no-good-dirty-rotten-pig-stealing-great-great-grandfather. Stanley and the other boys at the camp are forced to dig large holes in the dirt every day to 'build character' according
Zero was known throughout the movie to be one of the fastest and most productive diggers in the entire camp. During the span of the entire movie he is constantly told that he is a waste of life but was made to dig holes, or that he was only made for one purpose and that was to dig holes. I think Zero believed it through the whole movie because once you’ve been told something long enough you start to believe it. In a lot of ways Zero and Tyler Miller are alike and are in similar life situations.
meaning, has a strong sense of racial prejudice. White people often do not see black people as individual human beings. Another meaning of the theme of invisibility is the idea that it suggests separation from society. While the narrator is in his hole, he is invisible. He cannot be seen by society. He is invisible because he chooses to remain apart. Invisibility, in this meaning, is similar to hibernation, with the narrator’s choice to remain in his cave and think. This meaning of the theme doesn’t
