A newly surfaced road will not suffer in bad weather. It's water seeping into old holes and fissures (usually around old patched repairs) freezing and expanding that causes the damage.

Are you sure the zigzags are permanent, or could they be temporary markings for something else, indications? We had humps put in on our road about a year ago. There are no parking restrictions leading up to any of those humps. Indeed, we can park ON the humps if we want (they are quite shallow) - there are no white lines indicating otherwise. You would need parking restrictions around the humps if they are located at or near pinch points, however.
