Steep Street Problems
Steep streets can create traffic accidents from
people losing control of their car and brake failure. When inspecting a
neighborhood with steep streets look for gouges or deeply scraped areas
in the street preferably at the top or bottom of the hill. This will be
signs that the bottoms of some cars actually hit the street causing
damage to the car and the street.
If you need to park on the steep street this could prove to be extremely
difficult especially if you are parallel parking and tight areas.
Living in an area where the streets are steep will put additional stress
on your automobiles brakes. This could require extra maintenance on your
vehicle.
It might not be a bad idea to find somebody who lives in the area or has
lived in areas with steep streets to find additional problems that they
are familiar with.
Steep streets can create visibility problems and blind spots for cars
pulling in and out of driveways.
