Contexte culturel
Road repairs are almost exclusively a summer activity. If you visit in July, expect many 'Зам засвар' signs. In the countryside, 'Зам засвар' might refer to grading dirt roads rather than fixing asphalt. People use the hashtag #замзасвар to warn others about traffic jams on Facebook and Twitter. The 'Road Development Department' (Зам хөгжлийн газар) is the body responsible for 'Зам засвар'.
