May as well be halfway shared with Sisyphus, as they keep patching it forever.
The Sisyphean road of Theseus
Dammit, beat me to it.
Reject modernity, return to cobblestone
I'm sure you're joking but my city just replaced two intersections with stone paving. It's nice and smooth too, I wonder if it'll last longer than asphalt.
I'm not sure where this picture was taken, but Departments of Transportation in many communities will have a test road where they try out various road surfaces and paints. I suspect this is one of them.
Apparently I live on a test road.
At least these are fixes. The roads around me are just potholed to hell
As my dad used to say: "Hop onto the lunar Rover".
It's the Patchwork Highway. It's a tourist attraction. It's been all over Pinterest. That'll be $5.
Damn microtransactions
European plastic posts, and having "reflector" on the left side, so I'd say UK

Sky's too blue to be the UK.
This road is maintained by Microsoft®
This is art.
Appearance doesn't matter, it's all about smoothness.
For the contractor, that's job security.
Pennsylvania drivers be like "You guys are getting patches?"
You go down Patch lane thar.
Just one more fix bro then the whole road is going to be perfect I swear just one more
Concrete fields as seen from the plane
Looks like someone didn’t finish installing Half Life 2
Windows re-imagined as a road.
It does have a striking resemblance to Windows Mobile
Sniper, left of the tall tree!
Looking at the picture makes me wonder when all the crops are going to pop up
Was this taken in Utah? Because it looks much better than most roads here in Utah.
