I have never witnessed a build-up of water in the middle of the roads (only along the edges) so the drains and soakaways seem to be doing their job.
The water level in the preserve behind us (into which our roads drain) is at least two feet below the fence keeping those pesky gators out of my garden. A few years ago it was virtually at fence level, but still two feet below the house as the garden slopes. Other times the water hasn't even been visible from the house, so at least a foot lower than today.
They built plenty of slack into the system, but never say never.
