Monthly potholes & roads requests

How many potholes & roads 311 requests San Diego residents file each month.

How this category is defined

What counts as potholes & roads: Potholes, failing pavement, road resurfacing requests, traffic-control issues, and (in winter cities) snow and ice control for roadways.

In San Diego’s raw 311 data, the following 2 service_type values are counted as potholes & roads:

  • Pothole
  • ROW Maintenance

To reproduce these counts against the raw feed

SELECT count(*)
FROM <san_diego_311_raw>
WHERE service_type IN (
  'Pothole',
  'ROW Maintenance'
)

Analyst tip: Austin prefixes with 'TPW -' for Transportation and Public Works ('TPW - Pothole Repair', 'TPW - Pavement Failure'). Calgary uses 'Roads -' as its prefix and includes 'Roads - Snow and Ice Control' here — if you're analyzing a Canadian city, expect winter months to dominate this category. Chicago splits 'Alley Pothole Complaint' from 'Pothole in Street Complaint'. NYC uses the single catch-all 'Street Condition'.
