The downside of those stickers is that they stop working once people learn they are stickers and increases the chance of people driving full speed into an actual pothole

The downside of the stickers are probably that they are not real.

I only see upsides here. Some people need expensive lessons in order to learn anything >.>

It sounds great until you become part of the lesson once this person loses control and crashes into you.

As a Canadian, I can’t imagine our governments spending money on fake potholes when we’re rich in the real thing.

I mean, after poutine and sex clubs it’s what everyone remembers about Montreal.

What I remember about Montreal is all roads being under full construction. Completely blocked off and ripped up. I don’t know how anyone got around!

Completely ridiculous as far as solutions go - the only reason the cars are going too fast in the first place is because the very same government overbuilt the road.

So the alternative to not overbuild the road, saving plenty of money in the process, was always there. This just wastes money then wastes a little bit more to add insult to injury.

Completely agree. They could also build traffic-calming infrastructure on this stretch of road that doesn’t necessitate tricking people into a false reality like ridiculous pothole decals do (which I hope are not even real and are made up for this meme, but probably are real).

If you look close enough you can see the water mark. Pretty sure it’s shopped.

Bold of them to assume everyone who sees this will slam on their brakes instead of swerving and potentially into traffic causing accidents.

I am going to assume that the top photo is either fake or satire.

Yeah, if the road in front is clear on both sides it’s generally safer to swerve than to slam the brakes.

Those roads at the top aren’t even Canadian. We have more than enough potholes.
