Dimensions: * Length: Approximately 850mm. Width: Approximately 450mm at its widest point. Depth: The depth consistently exceeds 50mm-60mm, which is significantly above the standard 40mm intervention level. Physical Characteristics: * The pothole has severe, sharp vertical edges capable of causing immediate structural damage to tyres and rims. The top asphalt layer has completely eroded, exposing the concrete sub-base. The defect is located dangerously close to a drainage grate, forcing drivers to either hit the hazard or swerve into the opposite lane. Hazard Level: When it rains, the pothole fills with water, masking its extreme depth and making it an invisible trap for road users.
