Abstract
This paper describes the survey for significant causes to road damage in Tanah Merah, Kelantan. Damage to road structure influence the optimal function and serviceability of the road line. Other than that, road damage expose the users with traffic accidents and contribute to country losses especially in road sector.

The government must take a serious action especially the heavy vehicles problems which can inhibits the road damage becomes worse, reschedule the maintenance work wisely and systematic.
