Many roads suffer from neglect, leading to dangerous driving conditions. Potholes are a recurring problem on many Goan roads. The ongoing infrastructure projects and road closures, such as the Porvorim“Guirim elevated corridor, have created significant traffic congestion and navigation issues for daily commuters. A trial road closure recently caused a commuters' nightmare. Political figures have previously blamed corruption for the poor state of roads and demanded immediate repairs. The main contributors to road traffic fatalities, injuries and vehicles damage include potholed roads. Passengers travelling long distances on a regular basis are prone to back and neck pain. Those get aggravated while travelling on bad roads. Citizens should sue the government and PWD over the poor quality of roads. But it's amazing to see the patch-up work with a patch of tar and gravel. The tar patches are not aligned with the road level. Instead of filling the potholes, they're just sealing the depression with a thin layer, which makes the bump even more pronounced. PWD should abandon temporary fixes and instead invest in quality repairs that can withstand the monsoon.
