Road construction related crash WV

David Hough writes about those in Proficient Motorcycling and describes them as "edge traps."

Any of us who have been stuck in a rut on a dirt road knows how it works. Your weight continues to move in the direction of travel, but your tires fail to climb the transition and over you go.

As Dravnix said, attack them at an angle. The same as you would cross Railroad Tracks, deep gutters, and the such.

To protect myself, I will immediately report conditions such as the above picture so in the event it isn't fixed and I do go down, I can file a claim for an unfixed hazard. Like the trenches that are forming between the lanes on 580 East at the Buchannan Exit/I80 interchange in El Cerrito, for example.
