坑洞, 路面凹陷
a small, often deep, depression in a road surface caused by wear, weather, and traffic
A pothole is a hole in a road surface, caused by wear and tear from traffic, weather, or water. It forms when the road's surface weakens and cracks, allowing vehicles or water to break down the area further. Potholes can vary in size and depth, and they are often a safety hazard for drivers and cyclists. They are most common in areas with frequent temperature changes, as freezing and thawing can cause road materials to break apart. Fixing potholes typically involves filling them with new material to restore the road's surface.
