Worst Roads in the Country by State

[jeffandnicole]

The reason why everyone thinks their roads are the worst is because you are focusing on an extremely small sample size; in most cases just one or two highways. DOTs on the other hand use equipment that will measure smoothness, deterioration and other road conditions for nearly their entire roadway system. In many cases issues are undetectable to someone driving along the roadway, so in the "worst" states they know slanting you don't. And in states not ranked in the top 10, there's going to be perfectly fine roads that  don't get much traffic.

Surveys like this may only look at roads under state jurisdiction, which means states like PA and VA will be factoring in a lot more roads than, say, New Jersey with an extensive network of county, municipal and toll highways under other jurisdictions.

The title of this thread is a bit misleading; I was under the impression that it would be a discussion about the worst stretch of road in each state. (I-95 in VA north of Fredericksburg gets my vote, FWIW)

Exactly. Just copy the title of the news story, instead of renaming it to something that it's not.

Louisiana should be on the list, we have to posses some of worst roads in the deep south.
I was in CO. last year, the roads that I was on were in pretty good shape.
Apparently the plan is to let the nations highways  deteriorate  to the point of being un-driveable.
No political will  exist to deal with the issue.
