Default .... it's a rough road out there!

About 1-pm today on the Meredith Neck Rd, just above the intersection with Pinnacle Park Rd/Blueberry Hill Rd, I honestly saw with my own two eyes, two big orange NH-DOT dump trucks and four DOT guys who were busy tamping asphalt patch into the pot holes along that stretch of the road.......hallelujah! .....can you believe it......some road repair work is finally getting done to this incredibly rough Meredith Neck Road which is about six miles long and belongs to the State of New Hampshire. If it were a Town of Meredith road, owned by the Town of Meredith, there is simply no way that it would ever be neglected down to it's current rough road condition. The Meredith Neck Rd will ruin your struts, shocks, and steering and tires/wheels if you don't slow way down to about 20-mph and carefully navigate all the pot holes, bumps, dips, and buckled asphalt. It has a posted speed limit of 40-mph.

About three years ago, the NH legislature thought they were doing all NH car owners a huge favor by lowering the annual state vehicle registration fee by about forty dollars less for each year. But what they did was to short-fund the NH-Dept of Transportation and the Meredith Neck Rd, an un-numbered state road, is now what we are stuck with.

According to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Ham...Highway_System ....... New Hampshire has 1465 miles of un-numbered state roads.
