A national research group's new study shows that New Orleans' poor road conditions are costing residents thousands of dollars.
The study shows that New Orleans drivers annually spend an additional $657 on vehicle operating costs such as car repairs because of roads, an additional $1,100 on gas because of congestion, and $339 on lack of safety features that cause accidents.
The report doesn't include water damage from street flooding, but that's something drivers in the Big Easy have to deal with too.
