Well, the main street of Port Adelaide (Port Road) has potholes in it that could nearly swallow a scooter and it's very jarring to drive over even in a modern car at 50km/h. They spent a couple of months doing roadworks there recently and slowing the whole road down to 25km/h during peak hour but it didn't seem to improve the road surface even slightly! They just dug a hole and fixed a pipe, then sealed it back up again and left the rest of it looking disgraceful. I list this as my major concern since I drive over it twice a day and it is the worst piece of tarmac I have seen in a long time, in the city or out of it!

I just did a round trip to Shepparton up the Hume on Wednesday, and the potholes in the outside lane are downright scarey after the recent rain! nice deep tyre-destroyers everywhere

Any road in South Australia.
Don't know if it's country wide but if they do a repair, a week later the repaired section has sank 6 inches.

Theres gotta be a betta technique or design made...

My local street home always ALWAYS has the same potholes forming in the same places. The repairs eventually break down after 3 or 4 months. and its littered across the road from start to finish, up and down the hill.

city road in beenleigh, just as soon as you turn off the m1 at beenleigh north, where you turn right at the first set of lights has a hidden sunken pot hole repair that whacks the daily driver every time i zip through. And like my struts aren't screwed enough 😬 Its hidden and you can't see it coming, hence why i forget 🙁 (too busy giving way to oncoming traffic)
