    US streets aren’t always great but what’s up with all these open trenches right in the middle of the roads in this video??

      The first clip is clearly not somewhere cars should be. The other two… Trenches? Are construction areas clearly. I’m not sure what you mean?

        In the first clip there is a tuktuk in the foreground and a passenger car in the background so I don’t know how you got to “clearly somewhere cars should not be.

        In clip 4 there’s some pavement but it falls away into a large hole that has filled with water… call it what you will. “Trench” is one word for it.

          Clip 1 is very clearly a plaza and pedestrian area, hence the large curb, the cars In the background are in a carpark.

          Clip 4 is clearly construction, and it isn’t water, it is wet concrete.
