There are a lot of manhole covers on the first section of my drive to work, and I commknly see people swerving all over the road just so their tires won’t touch them, even jeeps. Why?

    I’ve witnessed a failure like this once but it took a sunken brick crosswalk where we get frost heave into a U-shape with a flat manhole cover in the middle of one lane to get driven over for a couple years until one day the lip under the cover was so busted up it flipped the lid right out when my mom drove over it lol.

      I was in Oklahoma one time and I opened a lid on a road and the whole lid fell in because the frame broke as I opened it. City was just kinda like “yeah that happens” and I’m like wtf do you mean that happens?!?! Their system was very very fucked though lol
