Drivers frustrated with potholes can now track local councils’ road maintenance performance through a new government traffic light system. Areas are graded red, amber, or green based on road conditions and funding efficiency, with many councils flagged red for significant concerns. While £7.3 billion has been allocated for road repairs, councils must demonstrate effective spending. Recent incidents highlight the urgency, as a major pothole in Hampshire damaged multiple vehicles, raising calls for better maintenance.
