You Should Know
The UK is more susceptible to potholes because of its climate.
Cold and wet weather, particularly during the winter months, means water can get into those cracks in the road and then freeze, eventually leading to potholes.
The heavy road use and traffic on the UK's roads is also a factor.
Councils also have tight budgets to fix potholes.
The amount of potholes in the UK is a very serious issue, with figures showing that local authorities within the UK receive a request to fix a pothole every 46 seconds and there has been almost 1 billion spent fixing roads across the country.
The number of potholes that were filled in England and Wales between 2020/2021 was 1.7 million which was a jump from 2019/2020 in which the amount that were filled were 1. 5 million. In 2020/2021, filling 1.7 million potholes is the equivalent of one pothole being repaired every 19 seconds.
Potholes can be a serious danger for cyclists, with a survey of over a thousand road users showing that 21% of UK cyclists have been involved in an accident because of a pothole. Out of these accidents, 22% of them resulted in a personal injury.
The survey also found that 88% of cyclists have had to perform a dangerous manoeuvre due to a road defect and 63% of cyclists have obtained damage to their bicycle as a result of a road defect.
