No matter what time of year, you're sure to encounter potholes in Little Rhody.
If you've spent enough winters in the state, chances are you've dealt with a frozen pipe incident. Maybe you've even had to deal with a broken boiler and somehow made it through a night without heat.
Whether they've rerouted 95 (again), or are extending the airport (allegedly), the construction in the state often feels like it drags on forever.
Quite possibly the most serious risk during the winter is black ice! Not only is it difficult to spot, it also poses deadly potential.
Aside from black ice, the snow pileup causes its own risks.
While Rhode Island drivers might be better than our Massachusetts neighbors, we all have those friends in the state who are still eluded by things like turn signals and passing lanes.
Rhode Island is the smallest state, after all.
Living in the smallest state means traffic is pretty much a guarantee.
Historical cities like Providence and Newport tend to have narrow roads that can turn one way unexpectedly.
Thousands of tourists flock to the smallest state in the summer months to enjoy its lovely coast. While this is great for the economy, it's not so great for locals trying to get around.
