    This has me wondering. Every country thinks they have the worst pot holes. Is there anywhere where the people are like “yes our roads are excellent actually”

        I have the experience (two decades ago, mind you) of driving my car all the way from Portugal to The Netherlands and you could tell when you crossed from Belgium to The Netherlands by the sudden massive improvement of the road.

        Mind you, you could also tell when you crossed from France to Belgium by the sudden large fall in the quality of the road, though the difference wasn’t quite as shocking as in the Dutch side.

      I spend a couple weeks in Japan. Visited dozens of cities. Didn’t see one pothole. Granted I’m sure they have em out in the countryside but didn’t see one in the tonkyo greater Metropolitan area.
