A sinkhole (named "Steve"?) just opened up in a highway near Oakland, CA. Initial photos showed a hole a couple feet across. Manhole-sized.

Whether it is a pothole, sinkhole, missing manhole cover, or missing bridge, it needs to be a mandatory requirement. From what I've seen of LIDAR imaging it seems like it is possible.
