Before taking a photo or reporting a pothole, the app issues a warning to ensure that users are not driving when uploading information and are in a safe area.<\/p>\n Once this warning has been accepted, users have an option to share their GPS location showing exactly where the pothole is using Google maps data, along with an attached photo.<\/p>\n Once uploaded, users will be issued with a reference number for tracking purposes.<\/p>\n What if I am outside of Johannesburg?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Notably, the app does take note of potholes outside of the Johannesburg area, with this data also shared with the respective municipality.<\/p>\n “The Pothole Patrol app is currently only authorised to repair potholes in the Johannesburg region, as authorised by the Johannesburg Roads Agency,” the app states.<\/p>\n “We will be having discussions with other municipalities to extend our reach and will keep you updated in this regard. In the interim, we will share the reported pothole with your local municipality and request that they record this to be repaired.”<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Pothole-1.jpg\")
