Post your spots of huge potholes.
There is a huge one on Oak St Bridge northbound on the slower lane
41st eastbound after Victoria. Huge manhole covers sticking out in the middle of the lane.

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.

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..

Drove there yesterday but didn't notice any potholes. Which of the 3 lanes are you talking about?

Wrong Marine Drive, you are on Marine Way.
Marine Drive is the single-lane road on the inside of Marine Way.
Here's a map:

Drove there this afternoon and i was wondering why the hell it was like that when they just finish paving it not so long ago, it was a complete shit job.

Yeah, went through it again couple weeks ago. 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.

Where was the was on Friday AM. I remember hearing at around 7:30am that 15 cars were pulled over after hitting a pot hole and could not drive there cars. I think I remember something like in the Coquitlam area. That ones pretty harsh.

I live right by that stretch on Marine, yea there's absolutely no pavement at all they're about to lay a new layer down soon.....
I wonder when they will repave all of Kingsway from Metro all the way towards downtown.... I stopped taking Kingsway to get downtown a while ago, cant take it anymore, even in my suv its just constant bouncing... I just go up 41st all the way to cambie and then straight down over the bridge, friggin freshly paved roads aint nothin like it

I don't know if this counts but Douglas Road/Goring North/Southbound where the railroad tracks are (near Holdom skytrain station) there is construction going on with manhole covers exposed. It's normally a PITA to drive over the tracks on that stretch of road already, but just a heads up to all in bby area

A bunch on 102 Ave and University Drive in Surrey Central area, infront of the SFU Surrey and the Rec center.
