I assure you, we also use 3D techniques in Canada.

With our freeze thaw cycle… I’m sure it’s much, much worse than Great Britain.
Same down here in New England. We have a bunch of granite boulders waiting to move and drop a big cavity too.
Digging fence post holes here is ridiculous. You get maybe 1 in 20 that doesn’t have a 20-80lb rock partly in the way. It’s why we hav so many miles of rock walls in the woods from 200+ years ago.
Try driving in Canada in the winter. They're in 4d at this point
Trust me. The potholes in Canada are real too.
I’ve lived in Canada my whole life, and I’ve never seen a road so well kept that it needed pothole stickers.
I visited South Korea and drove while I was there, they had loads of fake speed bumps where they were just painted on but had no actual bump. Definitely made you slow down if you didn't know the area.
They also had lots of poles with flashing blue and red lights, so you thought there were cops ahead until you got close enough to realise it was just a pole.
The place is playing full-on psychic warfare on the roads.
Speed bump stickers make sense, but fake potholes are a terrible idea as they'll get people to swerve around them to avoid wrecking their car. It sounds stupidly dangerous.
Imagine you thought that the 3rd one was another fake, but it was real one. Car got almost destroyed.
Anything to perpetuate our reliance on single occupancy vehicles!
Wonder how many idiots that weren't paying attention have swerved to avoid them...
This was my first thought. Hey! Let's freak out the people who are already driving recklessly. Nothing bad could possibly happen if we do that.
India: You guys are slowing down for potholes?
I can't tell you how many times I've seen this same meme but with the countries changed.
Same images and everything.
It's a bandwidth and resource waste: electronic, mental, temporal.
Block user, move on.
Here's a revolutionary idea: speed bumps.
Or design roads that feel like you should be going slower. Trees, narrower lanes, more walking/biking infrastructure all help people naturally slow down. Big open stretches like pictured with the stickers don't feel like there is a reason to be going slow so people don't
There's speed bumps where I live. There's also a fuckton of potholes and there having to pave a mile of road which will take months.
Can be a bit too much
In my area I have speed bumps with potholes
In Florida, we use Canadian drivers to slow traffic.
I feel like this is more likely to cause damage to cars, because now people will think real potholes are just stickers
Or people get into accidents trying to avoid potholes.
Man that made me think if a city just covered a pothole with a street sticker. Somebody just cruising along and then cathunk
Look at Britain plagiarizing by stealing pictures taken in Lansing, MI.
I've literally never seen these stickers anywhere up here. We have organic potholes aplenty.
These would be such a nightmare for civil engineers. You're just throwing down a random shape on the street, without any consideration for traffic accumulation.
🤣 Bullshit, drive through Quebec and you'll see potholes the size of the grand canyon.
I certainly hope that's a slight exaggeration.
Can confirm, the yearly deep freeze and thawing really does a number on the roads there.
The South African pothole
There we are, was looking for this one
And those 3D versions work, that I can confirm. Lost a tire to one a few years ago.
In California it’s 3D, just at batshit crazy speeds lol
E: if you’re not stuck in traffic
The roads in Canada are literal trash compared to UK wtf
Baltimore, MD: "Am I a joke to you?"
and we here we have:
