An intersection in Kingston upon Hull, 2022. It looked brand new in 2019:

I’ve already had the perception that no matter where I look, British roads look poor-quality and depressing. Do they use shitty asphalt and road paint, what is making them weather so fast? Is it the rain the UK is so famous for???
On top of the truck damage, looks like a lot of trenching going on there.
When you see ~1m wide strips of road with different asphault it usually means the road got dug up to access sewer or power. The smaller ~5-10cm wide ones are micro trenches for comms or small service lines.
It looks like they added some signalling too, and might have dug up that intersection to put in new stuff.
