A study on the condition of Bay Area streets and roads has a mixed review about the regions 42,000 miles of roadway.

A report by the Metropolitan Transportation Commission is giving a "fair" grade to the region's roads.

The study released Monday says pavement conditions between 2005 and 2007 were largely stable, with a slight improvement in a rating system the commission uses to rate roads in the region.

Still, the commission says large stretches of asphalt will require repair work soon.
