ukrainian road repair

i was driving up to kiev last weekend and thought i'd give everyone an understanding of how ukraine deals with road problems (very similar approach for many other problems):

rather than fixing the road, they just put up signs that let you know, "for the next 3 km, this is gonna suck." well, at least they're not pretending that these road conditions are acceptable and warning you about it. ah, ukraine, you never cease to amaze. :)

Honduras takes care of their road conditions in quite a different manner. The "highway" or road connecting the two largest cities has a portion (right by a cliff) where half of the road was washed away. It was more than 6 months before we even saw a sign to warn drivers of the danger, much less an attempt to fix the road!
