Dumaguete to address bad roads

Just yesterday coming back to Duma from Valencia an old man was filling in rough spots in the road with dirt......lots of job security in that method!

 

Yes, job security for dirt fillers is quite good, when the traffic and the rain wash out the dirt, they are re-employed, continuous regular income - ....

 

plenty of Overtime there then But..... are you sure he was not Planting for his personal garden? sorry guys and gals, could not resist this. The Popes visit has me all Excited

 

last time i saw a few guys painting the white road stripes ,with small paintbrush
whaaaaaa , only in the philipinnes,

 

Yeah, and the thing is it is a total waste of time and public money in Duma, it does not matter if the lines are white or yellow, continuous or broken, none of the riders/drivers here respect them. I had a really good laugh when I saw the double yellow lines being painted on the South highway........lol...

 

Jack, that fishing pothole picture is funny but the big one on the road to my house in Sibulan was that big. It's no problem with the truck to just stop, put it in granny low and growl through it though it is a little hard on cars I think. I just wish the road leading up to and after the pothole looked as good! Actually we just had our potholes filled with dirt, hundreds of them. I'm not too thrilled about where they get the dirt from, side of the road. If they keep doing that they will probably undermine the road base.

The other end of the road to my house has a bridge with wshed out bridge approaches. A small wooden bridge was constructed to allow motorcycles to cross but not trikes. Really it would not be hard to construct wooden bridge approaches that would nsupport a car but I suppose they could not do that because someone would try to drive a heavy commercial truck across it and something bad would happen. At least I do enjoy the lack of traffic noise so there is some benefit.
