AA president Edmund King said: "We know that local authorities have been working hard to bring highways up to standard after three successive bad winters, with a respite last year.
"Let's hope our streetwatchers find that, despite budget cuts, roads and paths aren't too bad in their neighbourhoods."
He went on: "We know that potholes, uneven road surfaces and exposed manhole covers are an even bigger threat to those on two wheels, and so we have asked our streetwatchers to flag up particular dangers for cyclists and motorbike riders."
