Lethal surface for vulnerable road users

This road is becoming an absolute deathtrap for vulnerable road users. The ludicrous 40mm "intervention limit" quite clearly does not take into account the affect this surface is having on motorcycle riders whose front wheel gets "grabbed" and thrown around like a rag doll. Other roads that were not in as dire need of resurfacing were done yet this was ignored. This will cause a vulnerable road user serious injury if not urgently attended to. I narrowly avoided injury myself today due to being thrown towards a parked vehicle!
