Road Conditions

[ossie_21]

With all the recent rain & storms, I have heard on the radio about & seen driving around, quite a few potholes on some main roads. Anyone with half a brain would know hitting one of these at 80kph or so there is a chance isn't going to end pretty with tyres, maybe rims, possible body damage and in worst case control of the vehicle, so keep an eye out for them out there

Even some that have been previously filled in have become unsettled so will have a similar effect. Posting this because I've seen some on a road I've driven on pretty much every day for the last 3-4 years & there hasn't been anything but the other day I spotted some so just something to think about

i was driving home yesterday and the left lane of alexander drive (just after macca's in malga) was filled with holes everywhere.

i think there were fixing it up this morning but if you drive down that way be careful as that part of the road is always shocking

Yeah I've noticed this too, the left hand lane heading east on Guildford Rd in Maylands is pretty sketchy and there's not really any room to avoid them in traffic.

Edit: btw [Michael] the number plate lights in your rear weren't working the other night..

I've noticed them everywhere too. Hit one the other day

At least I wasn't going too fast. Didn't see it in time because of the car in front of me

There is a nice big rim killer pothole on Gnangara road near Beechboro road.

Also, my mate damaged his tyre and NEW rim at the corner of Hutton and Guthrie in Osb PArk. Think councils need to pull their finger out!

When i was in perth yesterday i saw armadale road had pot holes everywhere. Heaps near midland brick also armadale rd and nicholson (its just starting to get there) and also just past lake rd when your heading towards armadale.

The council definetly needs to stop using the shovels as a leaning device and use them to fill the holes up

yeh roads all over the place have just got a whole lot worse. Some big pot holes near my house haven't been fixed for years.....it's bulls#&t. The council needs to get there act together and fix them all. To make it worse, when i try to avoid them by swerving (only when theres no traffic around) i'am yelled at by padestrians cause they think i'm a hoon....it sucks.

That's when you need to do a handbrake turn, smash 2nd up to them & politely explain you were simply manouvering your automobile around the eroded surface of the street in a controlled manner.

If I hit boost anywhere I get yelled at and called a hoon! I had some old guy run out of his house brandishing his fist shouting "IF YOU SPEED THROUGH HERE AGAIN I'LL THROW A F*@KING BRICK THROUGH YOUR WINDSCREEN!" I wasn't speeding, my car is just loud and sounds like it's going fast when it's not.. I came to a complete stop half way through the intersection, flipped him off and was about to drop a big smokey burnout but decided against it incase it stepped right out and knocked the old lady off her bicycle that was riding on the road next to me.

[bubba]

[dan_the_man]

[Ashy Larry]

One word sums it all up...

Woman!

[ix9]

hey lets make a new spotted thread for potholes

Sticky: SPOTHOLED sounds good!

[SLIPPERY]

hey nathan are you referring to the holes on whitfords ave?

They were there last week but have now been filled in

[ossie_21]

The ones I noticed the most were a few on West Coast Hwy & the left hand filter lane turning onto Wanneroo Rd from Ocean Reef Rd....with that being a few minutes from home I've turned there just about every day for the last 3 years & there hasn't been anything, so hitting all 3 isn't good!
