To generate some revenue for the repair shops.

LOL well it definitely worked on me, because my muffler got ####ed when I was driving on there last month!!!! It was not fun (except maybe for the people driving behind me laughing).

Yep, I went down there on Thursday and am now replacing my exhaust pipe that broke. But I fooled them, I'm doing the work myself.

I think in Florida, if your vehicle gets damaged due to road construction you can submit some kind of paperwork for the city to pay you back. But I think you have to get a police report too...

not sure if that would be applicable here in MD...

Oh man, then MD would have gone bankrupt by now!

Speaking of crappy roads, I hear FDR Blvd FINALLY got "fixed"... with a bigass speed bump.

Md payed for the vehicles fixes, when the solomons bridge broked.

It's not that big. I sit close to the ground, so I have to go over it pretty slow, but in the truck I treat it like it's not even there.

they classify FDR Blvd as a "private road" now so they don't have to completly repair it ever.

They did add speed bumps but the pot holes are still there

the state isn't going to pay to fix your rusted out exhaust, it broke because it was worn out.
Now if you have front end damage from hitting a bumb or repair work in progrress, ie need an alingment, then you may have a claim.

I don't use that road- but a coworker was the one who told me about it, and he said was driving on FDR and the speedbump was not painted and he did not see any signs warning for it, and he went over it at "normal" speed and he was piiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiissed!!!!

I saw that- the sign said something like "Drive at your own risk" I think!!

They are tall and very visible, I think maybe the difference between "normal" speed and the posted speed limit may be the real problem

No doubt... "normal" is definitely a relative term!!
