Ruts on Roads Ignored May Cause Most Iowa Crashes
Des Moines reports from IDPA notes that deep edge ruts along soft shoulders of concrete highways are blamed for many fatal and nonfatal crashes. Drivers veer to avoid oncoming traffic, strike the edge, and lose control, with some vehicles overturning. Patrolmen suggest filling ruts with blacktop could cut fatalities by significant margins. The article also references changes to the state memorial board composition affecting national armor properties.
