Thousands of miles of UK roads in poor condition


Some 10% of the road network maintained by local authorities in Great Britain is in poor condition, or has been flagged for further inspection.

About 37,000 kilometres (22,990 miles) across England, Wales and Scotland fell below top standard in surveys carried out on behalf of the Department for Transport.

The RAC said the road network had suffered from years of underinvestment.

Car divers often complain about the quality of British roads. If you really want to find out just how bad and dangerous the UK road network is - try two wheels. Motorbikes & bicycles can really see & feel just how terrible the state of our road are. In a car, usually, the worst that will happen is damage to a tyre, or wheel. On two wheels, bad roads can cause injury or even fatalities...
