Can I manually add potholes in a road? I have tried various apps to do that, but not able to map it clearly. asked 01 Aug '13, 08:16  Madhus333 |

We do not usually map individual potholes (for laughs, consult TagInfo on potholes). There's a couple of web sites where you can report a pothole to be fixed, like Fix My Street in the UK or similar offerings elsewhere. answered 01 Aug '13, 10:38  Frederik Ramm ♦ |
Hi what kind of road are you talking about, paved or unpaved, path, track or motorway ? Consider using https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:smoothness for a stretch of a way as long as potholes are present to describe to state of the road. You’ll have to cut the way into stretches first, on the spot or elsewhere. answered 01 Aug '13, 09:23  Hendrikklaas edited 01 Aug '13, 09:34 |
I'd also go with
smoothness, to denote really differing road conditions. But that is not mapping single potholes, just the overall state of the road. So, to combine Frederik and Hendrik: Don't map individual potholes, map the overall smoothness of the road.
