Exactly. If you look it up in the news potholes are always an item around this time of the year. Sometimes it’s “X amount worse” and sometimes they aren’t. Last year, I believe, they also put in a pretty concentrated effort in fixing as many as possible, above and beyond the usual amount they fix in a year.
People saying it’s “definitely worse” but then, if we assume it’s at least as bad as last year, pointing to a number that accounts for less than 1% of the total, or roughly 1 extra pothole for every 70-80km of road… is funny.
Imagine driving to Canmore, seeing one extra pothole during your entire drive, being able to actually perceive that pothole as one over the normal, and thinking “wow, it’s DEFINITELY worse!” It’s just not likely.
