They should claim the costs from the taxes citizens are forced to pay for government "services".

[@darrenjantjies9027]

Yeah, that's an interesting statement. How is this project funded? If it's not funded by the government, my fear is that they are going to take improper advantage of these businesses.

[@DeltaTeamShorts]

These repairs only last about a year and the point of this should be to improve safety until a long term repair can be scheduled, not use this as the only repair.

They must hire us

[@andiswanyawose5728]

Thanks guys.... where our government though?

[@calidream9273]

No way they do at least 100 potholes a day

[@servishfcnet7938]

No way that those shitty patches last 10 years

[@calidream9273]

@Servis HFCNET better then cold mix patches

[@servishfcnet7938]

@@calidream9273 cold mix is intended for emergency fixes, for example in winter period, and it should last until next regular road reconstruction

New roads must be dun not fixing potholes

[@sethgamesandmorehedleyh3049]

Oh yeah how you gonna afford that? Rebuilding a road that will break again within a few years costs hundreds of thousands, would cost billions if you did it everywhere that had potholes..

[@infiniteecho8699]

These methods r cheap and don't work Only a bandaid and they do Not last for that long

[@lazarusramaube8291]
