Interactive Google map for pothole reporting
"Following another bout of heavy rain, we're once again dealing with potholes in addition to road works, broken traffic lights and other potential hazards," says Aki Anastasiou of Primedia Broadcasting's Eyewitness News (EWN) traffic desk. He has set up an interactive Google Map to guide motorists through traffic obstructions in Gauteng daily.
Gathering information from listeners, the traffic desk team will constantly update the map to highlight the various potholes and other obstacles posing danger to vehicles and commuters in Pretoria and Johannesburg. They will also relay the information to the Johannesburg Roads Agency and Tshwane Roads.
Using Twitter (@ewntraffic) and Facebook (www.facebook.com/EWNTraffic) as well as information sent in via sms to 31702 and emails to , the refreshed interactive map (and other traffic updates) can be found on the EWN traffic page, as well as on Google Maps.
