I guess you didn't drive on the M11 between the M25 and Stansted just a few years ago, which got into an appalling condition, particularly breaking up along the asphalt layer seams which somewhat, but not always, coincided with the lane lines. It got so bad that roadside signs were placed warning about it. Eventually it was resurfaced recently.
