Car Forum / Driving, Maintenance, Tuning / RVs / January 2006Top 5 States With the Worst Roads
Top 5 States With the Worst Roads Are... When it comes to roads that beat and bang you up, Pennsylvania leads the nation. That's the word from the annual Highway Report Card survey of over-the road truckers conducted by Overdrive magazine. What is so wrong with the highways and byways of Pennsylvania? The top complaints are the conditions of the Pennsylvania Turnpike, I-78 and I-80, as well as poor signage. The states with the worst roads are: 1. Pennsylvania 2. Missouri 3. Louisiana 4. Michigan 5. California The states with the best roads are: 1. Texas 2. Florida 3. Tennessee 4. Georgia and Ohio (tie) 5. Nevada and Virginia (tie) You won't believe who are the best drivers! The worst highway in the United States is: 1. I-10 in Louisiana 2. I-44 in Missouri 3. I-95 in New York The best highway in the United States is: 1. I-75 in Florida 2. I-40 in Tennessee 3. I-10 in Texas The most improved highway is: 1. I-40 Arkansas 2. I-80 Pennsylvania 3. I-30 Arkansas http://www.netscape.com/  SignatureBILL P.

The PA turnpike *used* to be in bad shape, but that was a while back before they started their total reconstruction of the system. I travel most of the length of the Pennsylvania Turnpike on a regular basis, and come to think of it, I'm headed west on it tomorrow. I can state for a fact that the main stretch is in great shape right now, and has been for the past couple of years. There are still bad parts on the Northeast Extension of the system, but it's also in good shape for the most part. > The states with the best roads are: > 1. Texas > 2. Florida > 3. Tennessee > 4. Georgia and Ohio (tie) > 5. Nevada and Virginia (tie) I'm surprised about Ohio being ranked so well, unless the study is focused only on freeways. The Ohio freeways are in great shape. The facts presented don't specify what roadways were included and excluded. SignatureJon JPinOH >>Top 5 States With the Worst Roads Are... >> [quoted text clipped - 23 lines] > only on freeways.

I have lived here in Knoxville since 1991 and I-40 has been under construction ever since then and is still being torn up and slowed down to this date, 15 years later. I-40 was touted as a good road in the report, but it surely depends on which part of it you must drive on. John Andrews, Knoxville, Tennessee > So Tennessee is No. 3 for good roads.

Every time we drive across it, they are doing major construction. J Signature----------- Janet Wilder The Road Princess http://janetwilder.blogspot.com > The states with the worst roads are: > 1. Pennsylvania [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > 4. Georgia and Ohio (tie) > 5. Nevada and Virginia (tie) I'd have to say California is certainly one of the worst. Interstates have horrible washboard rippling. I-10 from Indio west towards Banning is a good example of bone jarring highway. Arizona has some of the best highways and roads. >> The states with the worst roads are: >> 1. Pennsylvania [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] > > Arizona has some of the best highways and roads.

Something falls off a vehicle, becomes a road ornament, and then gets ground into the pavement...forever. Bakersfield is second. B~
