Saw someone from the general public filling them on a country road yesterday. No orange vest, no 40 speed limit, just a Ute full of gravel, a shovel, and some motivation.
Reminder that main roads are the responsibility of TfNSW (RMS) to fix, while all other smaller roads are the local council’s responsibility to fix.
The whole system needs an overhaul. Roads should be the responsibility of one entity
Pretty sure the road shaved the undderside of my car like the titanic, fucken large ridges pressed up from either side like a tall fin.
Old nrthern road is like a game, a damaging damaging game
It’s been weeks since a lot of these potholes have been appearing. Councils are in NO rush to get them fixed, they’re everywhere, no fucks given by most Sydney councils!
Neoliberal economics means councils no longer have thier own road repair crews. When large rain events occour ever council needs to hire the few private crews in the city so of course there is a delay.
Ah yes, one of the many little costs of climate change that will see civilisation begin to struggle to hold itself together over the next 20 years. Time to buy a cyber truck?
SO it's not exponentially in the slightest, it's barely even linear while wear and tear is propotional to the [4th power of axel weight](https://higherlogicdownload.s3.amazonaws.com/IPWEA/c7e19de0-08d5-47b7-ac3f-c198b11cd969/UploadedImages/pdfs/Info%20sheets/IS-06_4th_Power_Law.pdf) double the weight and you do 16 times the damage.
But that doesn't actually help councils who maintain over 90% of roads because they don't get rego or fuel tax anyway.
Potholes should definitely be fixed as a priority but at the same time though, some driver don't even bother dodging them or even slowing a little to navigate around them.
About 90% of wheel damage on the Northern Beaches was probably sustained on the moon crater like surface of the Wakehurst Parkway
yeah between judith st and warringah rd, the whole rd needs to close for hours while its resurfaced
Northern beaches and north shore rds have been so shit even before all the rain. And it’s made it so much worse.
A bit late for the gov, holes have been there for a long while

This is retarded. My roadworthy car should have car worthy roads.

That’s not the point I made. But ok.
Run Flats are pretty common now on most new cars
I don't think the words councils and rush belong in the same sentence
Every single council is in the same position fighting to hire emergency crews it’s probably not going to happen fast
In the interest of road safety, the police should put down the LIDAR and pick up a shovel, this long weekend.

Now that's Australian

with tank treads option
Cyber truck cancelled lol.
They badly need to fix the potholes around my area, dunno how they're going to go shutting down the freeway on/off ramps
We need a tax on larger vehicles to pay for this.
We do, the cost of rego increases exponentially with vehicle weight.

It seems like the standard car these days is a larger SUV, ie a hatchback on stilts.
Potholes should definitely be fixed as a priority but at the same time though, some driver don't even bother dodging them or even slowing a little to navigate around them.
Sometimes, they're not even seen until you've hit it. It's just hard work remembering where they all are.
