I had to stop at a friend's house on Saturday to pick something up. I saw a large pothole in front of their place, took a few minutes to snap a photo and report it to the city, and... it just got filled in.
Reported on Saturday, fixed on Monday.
I don't know how to convince more people to do this.

That's a great response time.
I don't think our local councils can afford to do that so efficiently here.
Also, the road I live on is unadopted so no one is responsible, though technically all the house owners here would be jointly responsible.
No such luck given the houses are nearly all rentals. The landlords won't care.
So for the last 30 years, as one of three owner occupiers, I have been the one fixing the potholes and repairing/replacing the stone sets.
I am getting a bit tired of it, to be honest.
To be fair, I've reported quite a few things locally - potholes, damaged road signs and traffic lights etc, and some things get fixed quite quickly, or at least, made safe quickly and fixed later.

I am still weary of that repaired 'hole' that is still sinking into the road.
Yeah, that one is a pain. I guess they only did a basic patch repair.
