(ken) bad roads aren't just annoying... they're expensive.(catherine) and unfortunately - two bay area cities are topping the list as among the worst. kron4's ryan o'donnell joins us with more on what it's costing local drivers.. we do our best to avoid pot holes and bumpy roads... but a study found it's almost impossible to miss them all if your commute takes you in and out of the san francisco- oakland area. every couple of years... a washington d-c based non-profit called trip, researches, evaluates and distributes economic and techcial data on surface transportation issues. this recent study focussed on the nation's major urban roads... and found a third of them to be rated in poor condition... with san francisco-oakland and san jose topping the list. one

and two on the list... with the study finding 71 percent of the roads are in poor shape for san francisco-oakland... and 64 percent for san jose. what this equates to... is drivers are incurring additional repair costs, accelerated vehicle deterioration, and increased maintenance costs. the study found motorists commuting in and out of san francisco-oakland to incur the highest annual vehicle operating costs of 1,049 dollars. where san jose motorists were paying 983 dollars per year.carolyn kelly / trip report author: "it really does come down to a lack of funding for transportation. the municipalities, the cities, the state are doing a great job with the funds they have available, but the reality is there simply isn't enough transportation funding so the state will make funding for transportation a priority in order to keep the roads safe, smooth, and efficient and to reduce this heavy burden on the drivers." 0:23 the u-s department of transportation allocates close

to 420-billion dollars to road and highway repairs nationwide... but acknowledges it should be increased by 33 percent to improve all the roadways. on the mid- sized level of urban areas... antioch and concord were one and two for having the worst roads as well. a live look outside right now... as we get our first look at the four zone forecast with meteorologist mabrisa rodriguez. seasonably warmer highs during the upcoming days are expected in the bay area. highs will warm up into the 70s along the coast with mid 80s inland. patchy coastal clouds at night will continue the rest of the week and into the weekend. current forecast track will bring temperatures down by monday with increasing clouds and a low chance for rain across the north bay.

antibiotic resistance develops from this overuse in meat, antibiotics are less effective in treating our infections. so in the worst case scenario you skin your knee and you die because you contract an infection that can't be treated. burger chains should start to lead the beef industry by announcing publ policies to phase out the overuse of antibiotics in beef production. one of the chains responding tonight -- mcdonalds. it points out in a statement that it pledged in 2016 to no longer serve chicken treated with antibiotics....adding "mcdonald's is currently finalizing a global antibiotics policy for beef, to be announced before the end of 2018." an executive with 'in-n-out' also responded... telling kron that the company is committed to the concept of raising beef without the use of antibiotics.... but it acknowledges that there's no timeline yet for when that might happen.
