    Current defects reported October 2024 are failed repairs - such as they were - the adjacent rippled gutter which 2 wheeled vehicles have to avoid as well as the potholes and ripples. Highways consider the ripples to be acceptable. Hopefully one day WNC/Highways will honour the requirement to make the highway safe for all users.
