Default Re: Road resurfacing rant …

Don’t get me started on the road itself … firstly its already narrow but they made it even narrower by installing these completely useless flower/plant pods … parking is now 45% instead of parallel how it used to be …

The road used to have a massive drop-off from the middle to the sides (like ½m at least …) they actually kept that and did not bother fixing … re-surfacing is done at a very small section at a time (about 100M) so the points where the different sections meet are not smooth ….

I have lived in a few so called 3rd world countries and I have never seen roads being laid in such a pathetic way before … the best example is when new asphalt is being laid by RTA worker using a shovels and then they stomp it with the shovels instead of using proper heavy machinery, It’s no wonder when it rains we get pot holes 1 week later …
