PennDOT encourages callers to be specific when they call in about a pothole.
"For state routes, callers must report the county, municipality, street name or preferably the state route (SR) number found on small, black-and-white signs posted along state roadways," the press release states. "Callers should also offer a description of any familiar landmarks that will help PennDOT find the problem area."
