🤝 Our contribution:
Every road should meet a good standard — flat, no bumps, no holes, no big cracks. Comfortable and safe, not damaging vehicles. BetterRoads provides the data to help identify which roads need inspection, classification, and repair to meet that standard.
🚧 How it helps:
See where bad roads are — reported directly by residents
Send inspectors to identify and classify road conditions
Establish and improve road quality standards
Plan and prioritize repairs based on real community data
Build a complete record of road conditions over time
📋 The system — how it should work:
Citizens report — residents identify and report road problems with photos and GPS location
Government reviews — officials see all reports on the map in real time
Inspectors sent — teams are dispatched to inspect and classify each road condition
Standard applied — each road is evaluated: does it meet the standard? Flat, no holes, no cracks, safe, not damaging vehicles
Repairs ordered — all roads that don't meet the standard are scheduled for repair
Status updated — once fixed, the report is marked as resolved on the map
Shared widely — data can be shared with city departments, construction services, emergency services and other agencies who need to act
On September 20, everyone — wherever you are — join with others to clean up the outside area around you. Near any building, house, school, road, street, workspace, beach or park — yours or not.
All companies, private or public, educational institutions, shops, workers, employees and employers — everyone is part of this. Spend 30 minutes to a few hours cleaning streets and areas outside your home, workplace, and local parks. Schools, colleges, and universities are encouraged to join too — it's a great opportunity to teach students about not littering and caring for public spaces.
If this becomes a yearly tradition, cities everywhere could become noticeably cleaner within just a few years. 🌱
Let's all make our cities clean. Let's smile at the clean infrastructure we live in. 😊
What it is: A free, crowdsourced map where people report bad roads and other street problems, so they get seen, tracked and fixed by the government.
What it's for: Giving residents one public place to show where roads are damaged. Reports pile up on the map, so officials and neighbors can see where the problems are and how many there are.
What people can report
Road Quality (main function): potholes, cracks, alligator cracking, bumps, sunken patches, rutting, utility covers, standing water, edge drop-offs and more.
Traffic Control Devices (experimental): faded or missing markings, damaged signs, traffic light problems.
Trash / Obstacles (experimental): litter and debris on or near the road.
How it works
Map: every report is a pin. You can search any location, filter by category and view a list.
Reports: a logged-in user drops a pin, picks a category and subcategory, writes a description and uploads photos. Photos can be viewed, swapped or removed.
Moderation: new reports are reviewed by an admin before they go public. Official accounts exist for city or agency staff.
Community: people can vote on reports and comment. Votes confirm that a problem is real and affects many people, which helps officials decide what to fix first. Comments add updates ("still there," "got worse," "fixed") and details the reporter missed. Together they make reports more reliable and help catch fakes and duplicates.
Accounts: log in with Google, Microsoft or an emailed one-time code. One person gets one account, even if they log in different ways with the same email. Login attempts are limited to 5 per hour, and a trusted-device cookie helps real users get back in.
My Reports and Settings: users see their own reports and manage their profile.
Email notifications: users choose which categories and subcategories to follow and which places to follow, from a whole country down to a single city. They get an email when a matching new report is approved.
