With rain comes… potholes

Soon the rainy season will start and we will have rivers flowing down our roads.

Soon thereafter potholes will appear. These will be followed by numerous complaints from the public and excuses from the municipality.

I just wonder when the logic of sorting this problem out will flood our common sense?

We hope very soon.

Water needs to go somewhere and, as we have learned from our early years at school, likes to flow downhill towards the sea, rivers or dams.

That’s nature. We humans can’t change this, but we can help and assist in order to make our lives better.

Clean the drainage areas on both sides of the roads. Clear all the drains. We will see a huge difference.

The water will have somewhere to go and will be guided by these amazingly clever designs call drains.

Surely this is cheaper than filling up potholes and patching our roads?

Potholes are a cause for accidents and damage vehicles.

Has this not come to anyone’s attention yet?
