Not sure if this counts, but from the top of the hill (just after Deer Lake Parkway heading North) to Canada Way on Royal Oak is all gravel and unpaved streets, so the manhole covers are exposed. If you're lowered, AVOID AVOID AVOID!

what i hate more than pothole is exposed manholes. Those fckers will literally split your front bumper into half if you are lowered.

Huge manhole covers sticking out in the middle of the lane. | yup...confirm saw this huge one yesterday on Oak bridge..you either have to veer your car into the other lane to not go over it..or you'd be pretty close to the damn wall trying to avoid it in your own lane..

Marine Drive is the single-lane road on the inside of Marine Way.

I was kinda in a rush around 4 am to pick my friend up and forgot about it haha, it was too late when i realized that that area was unpaved, man was it brutal. Since then i just take the long way to get to my friend's place.

North bound Knight St. in the left lane, I almost shat my pants after seeing a massive pot hole and running over it in the very last second. Then unexpectedly, another one decided to soil my pants further in the same lane.
