Drivers of a VW #van in #Wiltshire went over a #pothole 120mm deep full of water, their front wheel was broken from the steering arm, they lost control of the #vehicle and were involved in a #collision with an #ambulance before ending up in a ditch - luckily no one was injured but multiple #EmergencyService units had to attend the RTC #roads #infrastructure #UK #Transport

Dear Arlington County, VA:

Look. I get that in the COVID and post-COVID era, the commercial real estate market has tanked as have the sales taxes from the office-worker foot traffic, but you
gotta keep your roads in better repair than what you're managing, now. I got this gash in my tire on a ramp connecting two major traffic routes not even a full mile from your freaking municipal courthouse and main police station.

#ClimateChange is causing a #pothole plague. Are robots and self-healing pavement the solution?

This headline evinces an inability to look outside the box. What we need is not better asphalt or better asphalt maintenance: what we need is a different road surface, e.g. brick pavers, that does not come from oil, does not leach toxins into waterways, and does not generate mountains of waste with every 10-year replacement.
