I recently got sent this in an email...
"Canadian Speed Controls
Speed controls being used in Canada ..
This is an actual speed control device that is currently in use.
It is MUCH cheaper than speed cameras, radar guns, police officers, etc.Pretty clever -- especially when they move them around every day.
Isn't art wonderful?"
As if we didnt have enough hazards..you could also argue that it would cause more accidents from people who swerve, but hey.. beats getting stung $$$

In theory yes, but how often do drivers actually look at the road?

Advertising on the road surface? What'll they do next? Beam an ad on to the moon surface? Oh, that's right, Coca-Cola already wants to do that one!!!

LOL!!! that aint Canada, thats Indian roads, by the looks of the roads/cars around, its either Mumbai or Delhi. And they have that kinda potholes in there anyways...so.....think they are pretty accustomed dodging them
Anyway, thats quite a shallow pothole (image) to be honest compared to the stuff you see on the highways there
