Giant potholes alert

:bash:
Roads in Manila are getting worse by the day!! Perfectly fine roads are under stress due to incessant raining and heavy vehicles especially trucks.
Potholes in Manila are nothing new and having them more abundant during the rainy season is part of the day to day driving conditions we all need to cope up with. But it is unusual for manila to experience rains for one week straight so this is probably why almost the whole of Manila's roads are in bad shape latey.

i have made a list the places i frequent and the ff areas require you to be more cautious of your driving and be always prepared:

MAJOR - will cause major vehicle damage on speeds above 20 kph
MODERATE - maintain speeds of below 40kph
SLIGHT - normal driving speeds but just be mindful of the road irregularities

1.) Roxas Blvd northbound around Baclaran area - MAJOR ALL LANES
2.) Quirino Etxn (Paco Area) - MAJOR
3.) U.N Avenue extn -MODERATE
4.) Romualdez st - MODERATE
5.) Magallanes area below skyway - SLIGHT
6.) Quintin Paredes southbound (near Chinatown arch)-MAJOR center lane
7.) EDSA sourthbound (around Boni) - MAJOR bus lane
8.) EDSA northbound (around Buendia in front of Forbes park seconday gate) - MAJOR bus lane

pls. include the whole stretch of Osmeña highway from quirino to slex...especially the one from san andres to pasay road...the worst segment is the fly over of buendia...bcoz of the numerous pot holes an asphalt laying...the road is uneven...parang tanggal kagad ang alignment pag humataw ka...patay kang kotse ka, lalo na pag umuulan...hindi kita butas...

where there are trucks potholes are more common

bakit kasi they still use asphalt on it??? dapat sa ganyan cement. if u notice hongkong roads are all cement, it's stronger and is brighter during the night.

the osmena hiway portion i think is still bearable. there are no giant potholes like those stated above
