The Gauteng Department of Roads and Transport’s #PotholeFixGP app now allows road users to report faulty traffic signals on it.
“The app provides a status update of the traffic signal and potholes, ranging from reported and assigned to completed. It further allows for checking and verifying whether a reported traffic signal/pothole is on a municipal, provincial or a national (Sanral) road.
“#PotholeFixGP means motorists become the eyes and ears of the department to help to keep road infrastructure conditions conducive for a safe and pleasant driving experience,” the department said.
Since its launch, the app has garnered at least 9 250 pothole downloads – a feat that MEC Kedibone Diale-Tlabela says is encouraging.
“We are encouraged by the rising numbers of downloads. The department further urges Gauteng residents to download the app and report road maintenance issues that need attention,” she said. – SAnews.gov.za
