One man's frustration at the number potholes on his road has driven him to take photos of all 25 and blame two councils for "patchy repair work".
David Stone has documented all the ones on a stretch of road between Rodington and Shrewsbury in Shropshire and said they make the road nearly impassable.
"It's not acceptable, it's incredibly frustrating. On a couple of occasions I've had burst tyres as a result of having to get out of the way of an oncoming vehicle," the 47-year-old said.
Telford and Wrekin Council said they routinely inspected their part and repaired as needed; while a Shropshire Council spokesperson said they regularly inspected and repaired serious defects on their routes.
Part of the issue, Stone claimed, was the long stretch of road being covered by the two authorities between them.
"We are stuck between two councils; the main stretch of road between Rodington in Shrewsbury dips in and out of the Shropshire Council border," he said.
"So we have lines of potholes where, if one council finally addresses them, they literally stop at the border and leave adjacent potholes unrepaired.
"It's very patchy repair work. Every now and then one will be half-repaired - they'll put in a temporary fix, they may as well fix the whole hole."
The route runs from Rodington to Shrewsbury, with part of it on National Cycle Route 81, connecting the B4394 through to Rodington Heath, a nearby village, Stone said.
"A month ago I was genuinely thinking it wasn't possible to take [the] route from home into Telford," he added.
Transport Secretary Heidi Alexander said the government had pledged an additional £500m to a total of £1.6bn to help tackle the issue across the country.
According to the Asphalt Industry Alliance, it would cost £1.94bn to clear the backlog of road repairs across the West Midlands.
The issue was not that the council were not addressing the problem but, according to Stone, the repair work left a lot to be desired.
"Just this week Telford Council came and applied spray tarmac repairs right outside my house, despite having done the entire stretch of road just a year ago," he said.
"The entire botched surface had worn away completely and all our drives are covered in gravel - the debris from the cheap patching.
"We have potholes bigger than bus wheels and it's so dangerous because cars are swerving all over the place."
The spokesperson from Shropshire Council said they checked their routes regularly with any serious defects sent to their contractor to repair.
"Defects not deemed to be an immediate danger are repaired in a more planned and cost-effective way at a later date. This is common practice across the country," they added.
"We currently don't have a cross-border agreement with Telford & Wrekin Council regarding the timing/frequency of inspections or defect repairs."
"Only a very small part (700 metres) of the route falling within the boundary of Telford and Wrekin," a spokesperson for their authority said.
"Councils have a duty to maintain only the roads for which they are responsible for within their own boundaries, which means repairs must stop at the boundary line."
"We routinely inspect the section of NCN81 that lies within Telford and Wrekin and maintain where repairs are required."
"We are currently undertaking maintenance activity rural roads which includes this area. The council will shortly begin resurfacing works on the B4394 to further improve the network."
