The real issue is not the seal on the top, which show up as 'pot holes', but more the foundations underneath.

The foundations move under the weight and speed of the vehicles, which we see as cracks on the surface, which due to more heavy truck end up as being potholes. Add a few rainfalls filling the cracks, Bingo!! potholes.
The foundation moving causes the top seal to crack and no amount of patching up potholes will work for any length of time as the surface now has a weakness. Eventually, the road has to be reconstructed with new foundations.
The GVT and councils expect to reseal the top layer as it will wear out, but once the foundation ceases to be solid, the top will continue to crack and potholes become a major problem for ratepayers.
Most of this is due to allowing Heavy Truck 20% heavier to use roads that were not built for them and using efficiency and cost savings to justify the change. This produced 'UNEXPECTED CONSEQUENCES'
The Gvt has to give Transport Companies a return on their investment $$$ for their political backing.
The GVT is now working on SPEED for more EFFICIENCIES and 'UNEXPECTED CONSEQUENCES' should not be unexpected this time.
"SPEED KILLs" so expect it to kill more even on motorways, especially Urban motorways.
This is my opinion backed up with obvious examples.

Smart bins automatically notify the Council as to the level of rubbish in these bins and yet it took five days and a visit to the council to get some action on the bin on Ernly Clark track after it was full to over flowing with a halo of rubbish surrounding it. Maybe the Council needs to hire some "Smart" employees to make this system work and justify the expenditure on this equipment.

The proposed change would apply from the Curletts Rd interchange in Addington to the Weedons Rd interchange in Rolleston.
Transport Minister Simeon Brown said it would mean faster journey times for Kiwis travelling in and out of Christchurch.
“Boosting economic growth and productivity is a key part of the Government’s plan to rebuild the economy. This proposal supports that outcome by reducing travel times and increasing efficiency on this key South Island freight route.”
“We know how critical this connection is for motorists and freight operators, and we’re committed to ensuring that this state highway enables people to get to where they want to go, quickly and safely.”
Brown said the Southern Motorway was built to a high safety standard, with features “that greatly reduce the risk of death or serious injury in a crash”, including a flexible median barrier, and a smooth alignment which offers good visibility for drivers.
In July, Selwyn mayor Sam Broughton wrote to the Ministry of Transport, Brown and Act Party leader David Seymour suggesting the speed limit be increased to 120kph.
“Whether it is for general traffic, direct public transport services, or moving freight ... increasing the speed ... will assist in improving efficiency and connectivity while still being safe,” he wrote.
“This is reflected in generally higher average speeds above 100kph we already observe along the motorway.”
Consultation on the increased speed limit begins on September 3 and closes on October 1.
