Sudden dip on high-speed road

There is a dip in the right-hand lane of the East-bound carriageway on the A48, beneath the Gabalfa roundabout. It has been there for over a year. I brace myself for it every day, but someone who wasn't expecting it, travelling at 70mph, especially if they were changing lanes, could easily lose control. It appears to be a large patch in the road which has sunk.

As that is a 40 mph zone, anyone who was going 70 mph would deserve what they got
It's not news to me that a lot of the people driving on that road don't pay any attention to their surroundings. At that point on the road the speed limit on the westbound side is 40 mph but the eastbound side is beyond a national speed limit sign. Since there's a central reservation, that makes the speed limit 70mph and too fast for sudden dips to be acceptable. Thanks for your input though, always interesting.
