Recent road repairs - 26th Aug 2019 10:21am
I've noticed a lot of roads nearby have had new tarmac (or whatever the stuff they used is) laid down on various parts of the road. It looks like they have either filled potholes, or filled cracks that usually become worse.
The repairs have generally rough surface, there is one at the bottom of my road which acts as a small ramp if you go over it about 25mph, and others have an inconsistant structure, most are proud of the surrounding road surface by about 1 inch.
Is this on purpose and do the people who planned or "repaired" the road expect the repairs to sink to last longer, or clock watching and wanted to just get the day over so they can go home? I hate to sound like a moaner because at least they're getting repaired, but most of these repairs are being undertaken by people who couldn't care less (but don't realise they also have to use the roads) and are not aware of the concept of 'straight edge' tools.
