Maintaining the safety of your commercial
parking lot is important to facility managers and owners. Just as you want to be sure parking lots are
well lit at night, you also want to ensure the surface of your asphalt paving
is smooth and free of potholes
and other road hazards. Not only can drivers suffer damage to their vehicles,
pedestrians can fall, twist ankles and otherwise injure themselves. Lawsuits from property damage and/or injury are
two things a commercial facility definitely wants to avoid.
Potholes refer to any place where part of
the road surface is broken away or sunk in.
Most potholes form due to pavement fatigue. As traffic continually passes over the same
area, cracks form. Water can enter these
cracks and cause more damage to the subsurface.
If the cracks are not filled, they can result in the asphalt pavement
breaking down - causing a pothole.
Most drivers have experienced running
through a pothole at some point in their lives.
It is a sort of bone shaking experience and makes you cringe to think
what kind of damage you've done to your tires and shocks. Some potholes are deep enough that will even
cause your car to bottom out. Fortunately, most pothole encounters inflict
fairly little damage to your car; however, in some instances the consequences
can be great.
Sometimes, even at low speeds, running
through a large pothole can damage a car's wheels or suspension - resulting in
expensive repairs. At high speeds, tires
can blowout when hitting a pothole and can send the car out of control. In this instance, there is a very real risk
for property damage, serious injury or even death to the occupants of the
vehicle, other vehicles and even pedestrians.
If your parking lot is beginning to show
wear and pothole are starting to appear, the time to fix it is now. If complaints are ignored and a pothole is
allowed to grow and grow until it becomes a hazard to drivers, your facility
may be held liable for damages resulting from the negligence.
