As posted in the oops thread. We now have 10 miles of freshly resurfaced dual carriage way. However where the road was closed for so long and heavy traffic have been using the back roads, the back roads are completely and utterly trashed

if it wasn't for the blue sky and scenery, I'd swear this was Abergavenny/A465/just about most places in Wales/UK

You know the main roads here have hardly any holes at all. The few cars and vans here are a pain as they hold up traffic as the roads weren't built for them

Just as bad for potholes here in NE Essex. Coming home one dark night during last week hit a large puddle and a big bang

Fortunately this was in my old 'project car' 2008 Ford Mondeo Titanium X diesel.
And the next day checked it in the daylight to find a horrible little bulge on the front 235/40 ZR18 tyre

Ordered a replacement via eBay which has gone up to £54-95. To be fitted at Graham's place as soon as it arrives....

there has been a steady decline in our road surfaces here over in France, still generally really good but the maintenance isnt there like before, tbh it when i listen to people criticize the uk its pretty much the same here but we are behind the curve by a decade or so.
the gouvernance is diabolical and people are getting uneasy just like u.k

big and little things like fooking about with the 90kph limit down to 80kph and then they think nah maybe not, 50 odd departments have gone back to 90kph and its cost taxpayers millions.

meanwhile there are some proper problems that need attention.
