The Motorist Guide on how to report potholes in Selangor

Potholes are a huge pain, right? You’re driving along, and out of nowhere bam! Your car hits a nasty dip in the road. Not only does this ruin your day, but it also causes unnecessary damage to your vehicle. Thankfully, in Selangor, there are a few ways you can quickly report these road hazards. Let's dive in and make sure you’re prepared to tackle this with confidence.

 Why Reporting Potholes Matters

• Damaged roads can lead to expensive car repairs. A single pothole can mess up your car’s alignment, cause tire damage, or even mess up the suspension. But it doesn’t have to be this way! By reporting potholes, you’re helping to ensure safer roads for everyone.
• Selangor’s local authorities are aware of these issues and are taking steps to address them. However, they need drivers like you to report these issues in real-time so they can tackle them fast.

 Options to Report Potholes in Selangor

• Via Municipal Websites: Most municipal councils have dedicated sections on their websites for reporting issues like potholes. Simply visit the site, look for the 'Report a Problem' or 'Contact Us' section, and follow the instructions.
• Social Media: If you’re on social media, try sending a direct message to local council profiles. A quick search on Facebook or Instagram for the relevant council (e.g., Majlis Perbandaran Petaling Jaya) will point you in the right direction.
• Phone Call: If you prefer the classic approach, make a quick phone call. Most municipal offices have hotlines dedicated to road issues, so a quick Google search should get you the contact number you need.

 What Happens After You Report a Pothole?

• Once you’ve made the report, authorities will typically assess the severity of the pothole. High-priority issues, such as deep or multiple potholes in a busy area, are usually handled more quickly. Lower-priority reports may take longer, but most councils aim to address reports within a few weeks.
• With your help, potholes can be filled, and road safety can improve overall. And the best part? By reporting potholes, you’re actively making Selangor a better place for every driver.

Stay Safe and Keep Reporting

• Every pothole report makes a difference. Whether you choose the traditional method or leverage tech like the Motorist App, staying proactive keeps your vehicle safe and helps the entire community.
