With warmer temperatures forecasted spring may unofficially be here. Spring can bring new unexpected hazards to roadways. Soft spots, potholes, motorcycles, bicyclists, animals and even people are now more noticeable.
Soft spots happen expectantly when the frost begins to soften up the soil beneath the road. The softening can create humps, dips, lead to potholes or even roadway blow outs. Please try to avoid hitting these areas by being aware of these conditions and drive at safe speeds.
