Driving through a construction zone can be a tricky situation for any driver. With a high volume of workers and machinery moving in and out of the driver’s line of sight, the situation can be distracting for even the most experienced driver. The uneven road surfaces that are often created in and around construction zones can be a challenging factor that, if not taken care of properly, can lead to serious car injuries and contribute to damaging accidents.

Uneven road surfaces can make a driver feel uncomfortable about their ability to control their vehicle. Especially in situations where a driver must change lanes when moving from one surface level to a different surface level, uneven road surfaces can threaten the car’s and driver’s ability to stay in control and in their own lane. . A small detour or moment out of control by one driver can cause chaos for other drivers who have to react on an uneven surface. Any resulting car accident can be the source of a great deal of damage and pain.

Uneven pavement can occur in some common situations. The most common situation in which to find an uneven surface is in a road construction zone. Whether the construction site is active or inactive, driving through construction zones can be a dangerous maneuver and any distraction or lack of control can lead to dangerous accidents.

Unpaved roads and drop-offs often have uneven surfaces as well. Encountering these situations can lead to rollover accidents or lane change accidents if the driver is unable to maintain control of their vehicle. Freeway entrance and exit ramps are also places where changes in surface levels can be found.

Any uneven surface can be an accident risk due to the dangers of losing control of a vehicle or because the tires are hampered by the changing surface.
