Yes, we have freeways, highways and tunnels. But how well does the road system serve your business:
Rick Clay, president, Affordable Security Systems of Virginia Beach:
``Actually, I think it's adequate but it needs work. The major problem are the potholes around Northampton Boulevard and Shore Drive.''
Bill McRae, owner, Bay Area Movers Inc., Portsmouth:
``The toll booth on 44 needs to be gone. I realize it produces revenue but it also produces back-ups and probably causes accidents, too.
``It seems like they start a project and it just sits there instead of getting in there and getting it done and getting out of the way.''
Bernice Rich, owner, Kitchen Gallery, Norfolk:
``I don't really notice that they're all that bad. I'm usually not engaged in rush hour traffic.''
Emery Sweeney, owner, Riverdale Trophies, Hampton:
``I think all the roads in the Hampton Roads area have problems from time to time with potholes. Most of the roads don't have sidewalks and I think they should.'' by CNB
