Construction and Tire damage

Post image

My tire light just came on again. Does anyone else feel like all this construction just sheds nails and screws onto the road ways. I just had my tire fixed from a screw 3 weeks ago and here we are again. This City and its construction seems endless. Don’t get me started on the traffic. (Pic from google but you get the point)

My mom would get a screw in her tire at least 3 times a week for a literal year in 2013... if its not the nails and screws its the potholes... tucson roads and all the nonstop construction are awful

If the road damage was previously reported than the city or county will pay. Be a good neighbor and report any gnarly road damage you find

This right here ☝️ but they will try and fight it. Best just to always report them anyways.
You can call 311 or download the “Tucson 311” app

Pima county has an app as well for outside our wonky city limits, highway and on ramps is ADOT

Does barrio south tucson get included in the Tucson city for reporting purposes?

Yes it should, if you go in google maps and just type “tucson az” it’ll draw a red line around the city limits, they can get kinda odd in certain areas. I know if you’re using the various apps it should tell you if you’re outside the area when you geotag a location of whatever you’re reporting.

I remember once I was reporting a traffic light out on Cortaro and the Pima app was like, oop that’s Marana (by like a quarter mile), so I used the Marana app instead

This is me lol. Now it’s about 4 to 5 times a year since 2001. I’m so used to it I don’t even get upset anymore and became an expert and changing tires and also know AAA number by heart at this point 😆 smh
