The downside of those stickers is that they stop working once people learn they are stickers and increases the chance of people driving full speed into an actual pothole
Completely ridiculous as far as solutions go - the only reason the cars are going too fast in the first place is because the very same government overbuilt the road.
So the alternative to not overbuild the road, saving plenty of money in the process, was always there. This just wastes money then wastes a little bit more to add insult to injury.
Completely agree. They could also build traffic-calming infrastructure on this stretch of road that doesn’t necessitate tricking people into a false reality like ridiculous pothole decals do (which I hope are not even real and are made up for this meme, but probably are real).
Our councils have been defunded so much that they basically don't maintain the roads. Our potholes now have "bounce" damage, where trucks have driven into the hole and bounced, further causing rebound holes. Those are now widening.
I've driven in Poland in rural areas. There are places in the UK now where Poland had better road surface.
What I meant was: why do I instinctively know that it's shopped? As in what is technically wrong, not why is the photo manipulation crap. I wasn't trying to offer critique, ffs I couldn't make something even this convincing.
