In this study, we conducted a two-stage questionnaire survey targeting local government roads, in municipalities nationwide. From the survey results, we considered three road user cooperation measures and points to keep in mind as support measures in terms of budget, technology, and system, after organizing the current status and issues of road maintenance. First, the effectiveness of road user cooperation was suggested that for understanding the current status of unplanned repairs and ad hoc maintenance, preparing inspection manuals, early detection of road damage, and collecting information which cannot be found by staff alone. Second, as measures for cooperation with road users, it was understood that it is important to formulate a patrol inspection plan, clarify information to supplement the shortage of workers, and raise awareness for utilizing new technologies. Finally, the survey results suggested the importance of providing a place for exchange and involvement in worker development that contributes to ensuring the reliability of information from road users, as well as points to keep in mind when setting the degree of involvement of road users.
