Kicker: The worst road in Wales

MARY REICHARD, HOST: Government efficiency. People wish for it.

Folks in a small village in North Wales do too and they’ve had enough of their bumpy roads.

So they turned their frustration into creativity by filling the air with sarcasm.

AUDIO: Two kilometers of award-winning potholes. Once again, welcome to Jurassic—I mean, welcome to Pothole Land.

Another sign adds to that: potholes with very little actual road to spoil your fun.

A YouTuber going by the name “Nomad Season” documented the satirical attraction—claiming the biggest potholes in all of Wales.

Locals say it’s not that enough money isn’t thrown at the problem, either:

AUDIO: I think it's government misspending. I think they've been spending money in the wrong places.

MYRNA BROWN, HOST: We hear ya!

REICHARD: Well, in this instance, the mock attraction worked! Road crews have at least started repairs.

BROWN: Who knew the best way to see tax dollars at work… was to first trip over them?

REICHARD: It’s The World and Everything in It.
