You aren't too far away from me. I live in Essex.
So, what roads are you referring to? Some are worse than others. Some have more debris on them (glass, nails, tacks, metal shards). An example of a debris-strewn route is the bike lane on Pulaski Hwy (Route 40). Due to the landfill on Days Cove Rd, you can hope to pick up any of the above listed tire killing debris. It would be nice if the county would send a road sweeper along the lane periodically.
Anyway, you can report potholes and other road maintenance issues here:
