Road hazards are a common problem on roads and highways, and can include potholes (7 letters), ICE (3 letters), RAGE (4 letters), SLEET (5 letters), ESS (3 letters), RUT (3 letters), and GLARE (5 letters). Potholes are caused by water seeping into the pavement and eroding it, making it uneven and dangerous to drive over. ICE is a slippery surface that can cause vehicles to lose control. RAGE is a type of extreme weather that can make roads difficult to navigate. SLEET is a combination of rain and snow that can make roads slippery and difficult to drive on. ESS is an acronym for Extremely Slippery Surface, which is a warning sign for drivers to be aware of icy conditions. Rutting is when the pavement becomes worn down and creates deep grooves in the road. GLARE is a bright light that can temporarily blind drivers, making it difficult to see the road ahead.
