Dodging potholes is becoming a day to day routine.
"It's horrible. They're all over the place and you can't even see them and then you hit them with your car," said driver Robin Hughes. "I want them fixed. Somebody needs to get them fixed now."
The Transportation Asset Management Council (TAMC), says the roads won't be getting fixed any time soon.
The council is a group of different representatives from MDOT and county and township association. They say roads have been getting worse year to year.
"Our roads in poor conditions had a little up tick. We went from 38-percent to now 39-percent in poor," said TAMC's Coordinator, Roger Belknap.
The number of good roads in Michigan have gone down from 17-percent to 16-percent. And the number of poor roads have increased - all in just a year.
Last fall, Governor Snyder signed a road funding bil,l but we won't see any improvements to the roads from the bill until 2017.
"In time we're going to start to see some progress made in improving the roads that are poor and fair conditions, and bringing more of those miles into the good conditions," Belknap explains.
The state will have to wait until the funding begins leaving agencies to make temporary fixes.
"Until that money comes, it's be more than likely going to be funneled through maintenance and preservation strategies," said Belknap.
But Lance Binoniemi of Michigan Infrastructure and Transportation says those fixes won't do anything.
"That's not actually fixing the problem. You have to go and reconstruct a road that will last 30 to 50 years rather than just again a bandage fix," Binoniemi.
Which means drivers will have to continue to keep an eye out for potholes.
"I anticipate we'll have worse condition roads in 2016 than we will in 2015," Binoniemi said.
