Ah, the pothole. That unassuming dip in the asphalt, disguised by shadows and puddles, ready to send shivers down your spine and your car's suspension flying. In the UK, potholes are more than just road imperfections; they're a national pastime, a shared groan-inducing experience that unites drivers from Land's End to John o' Groats.

But the reality is no laughing matter. Estimates suggest there are over one million potholes lurking on our roads, a testament to years of underinvestment and the harsh realities of Britain's weather. These aren't just minor annoyances; they're safety hazards, causing damage to vehicles, cyclists, and even motorcyclists. Nearly 30,000 RAC members endured pothole problems and potentially very costly repairs in 2023.

But what if there was a way to fight back against these road menaces? That's where Stan comes in. Stan is a mobile app that empowers citizens to take control of their roads by reporting potholes and other road defects to local authorities.

How Stan Works:

Using Stan is simple. Just download the app, take a photo of the problem, and submit. You can also use drive mode where your phone automatically detects potholes whilst you’re driving. Stan uses GPS technology to pinpoint the exact location of the issue and sends the report to the relevant authorities. You can even see your report on Stan The Map.

The Benefits of Using Stan:

There are many benefits to using Stan, both for individual drivers and for communities as a whole. Here are just a few:

Safer roads: By reporting potholes and other road hazards, you're helping to make your community's roads safer for everyone.

Reduced costs: Potholes can cause expensive damage to vehicles. By getting them fixed quickly, Stan can help to save drivers money.

Improved infrastructure: When local authorities have a clear picture of the condition of their roads, they can make better decisions about where to allocate resources for repairs and maintenance.

Empowered citizens: Stan gives people a voice in the decision-making process when it comes to their roads. It shows that citizens can play a role in improving their communities.
