My understanding is the DOT gets pissy if locals fill in the pothole themselves, but I imagine that there's enough interested people to do vigilante road repair if they weren't subject to government harrassment.

People in Chicago sometimes do this.

It's common enough that WGN Morning News parodied it by having its sports anchor go out and start filling potholes with giardiniera.

Simply paint a penis around the pothole.

"Vigilante Road Repair" - cool band name - I call it!

Pick it up and drop it on the road outside a local politician's house, there'll be a repair crew there fixing it the next day.
