I assure you, we also use 3D techniques in Canada.
With our freeze thaw cycle… I’m sure it’s much, much worse than Great Britain.
Same down here in New England. We have a bunch of granite boulders waiting to move and drop a big cavity too.
Digging fence post holes here is ridiculous. You get maybe 1 in 20 that doesn’t have a 20-80lb rock partly in the way. It’s why we hav so many miles of rock walls in the woods from 200+ years ago.
I visited South Korea and drove while I was there, they had loads of fake speed bumps where they were just painted on but had no actual bump. Definitely made you slow down if you didn’t know the area.
They also had lots of poles with flashing blue and red lights, so you thought there were cops ahead until you got close enough to realise it was just a pole.
The place is playing full-on psychic warfare on the roads.
Imagine you thought that the 3rd one was another fake, but it was real one. Car got almost destroyed.
This is dumb as shit because canadian winters are much more harsh than UK. Asphalt degrades faster in harsher winters. Doubt they’re hitting -50C in the middle of January
Don’t underestimate just how badly we Brits maintain the roads.
The whole country is a patchwork mess.
My local MP came around yesterday to brag that he and the local Tory councillor have made plans to fix a pothole nearby.
The bar is so low it’s below the floor.
Here’s a revolutionary idea: speed bumps.
Or design roads that feel like you should be going slower. Trees, narrower lanes, more walking/biking infrastructure all help people naturally slow down. Big open stretches like pictured with the stickers don’t feel like there is a reason to be going slow so people don’t
