Common Sidewalk Issues that Violate DOT Rules
The Department of Transportation has certain rules for the upkeep of your sidewalks. Unable to follow the rules will lead to violations. Following are the common damages that you have to look out for if you want to save yourself from DOT violations.
Cracked Concrete
Small cracks that might appear due to contraction or compression can become the reason for water pooling, uneven sidewalks, and potholes. Whether small or big, cracks on sidewalks violate DOT maintenance guidelines.
Uneven Slabs
Concrete slabs can become uneven due to tree root’s upward growth, freeze-thaw cycles, or sinking soil, which can be a major reason for people tripping and falling. Fixing this violation on an immediate basis is essential to saving yourself from legal liabilities.
Deteriorated Surfaces
Chipping concrete, crumbling edges, and extensive damage to your sidewalks can lead to DOT violations. Patching up the concrete is a violation and might require resurfacing or a complete sidewalk replacement.
Settling or Displacement
Sinking of concrete happens when there is water in the soil and the slabs sink or displace due to the continued freeze and thaw cycle. Settling or displacement of sidewalks is another violation of DOT that needs to be fixed.
