The Dominican Republic (Costa Rica also) have roads full of holes. I know it rains alot in the DR but can heavy rains be responsible for all the pot holes and how quickly the holes return when they are patched?
I wonder if over weight trucks have anything to do with it. I have never seen over loaded trucks anything like what runs around here. I have seen them with rear axles bent and the tires wobbling from side to side. In the US the police watch the trucks closely and many have commercial truck scales in their trunks. I have seen them weighing trucks on the side of the road for over-weight. I have no knowledge of road paving and was just wondering. The price we pay in car repairs and accidents in the DR is high. Can it be that enforcement of truck weight restrictions would help. I know you have all seen those semi tractor trailers loaded sky high with sacks of I dont know what and a few Haitian laborers riding on top of the load. Always feel sorry for them in the rain.
I know one of you drunners is a road paving expert.
