Pavement. Some sections of I-196 and US-131 remind me of Chicago streets, except instead of going 25-30 mph you're doing 65-80 mph trying to dodge those lovely holes of pot
The local weatherman, trust me I can be 99.9% right!
"Show where you're going, without forgetting where you're from"

Clinched:
IL: I-88, I-180, I-190, I-290, I-294, I-355, IL-390
IN: I-80, I-94
SD: I-190
WI: I-90
MI: I-94, I-196
MN: I-90


US 41

US 131 not connecting to I-75 in the northern part of the state is my biggest complaint. It should be a freeway all the way. And the 2 mile piece of US 31 that is not complete (and may never be) is my second complaint.
Visited States and Provinces:
USA (48)= All of Lower 48
Canada (9)= AB, BC, MB, NB, NS, ON, PEI, QC, SK
Mexico (9)= BCN, BCS, CHIH, COAH, DGO, NL, SON, SIN, TAM

Crazy Volvo Guy

60mph truck speed.

Which *wouldn't* be a huge deal, as my truck only goes 62, HOWEVER: Everybody and their dog wants to go 61, to my 62.  So, I am slowed down, but I can't pass, which is positively infuriating.
I hate Clearview, because it looks like a cheap Chinese ripoff.

I'm for the Red Sox and whoever's playing against the Yankees.

As others have mentioned, the lack of a third lane in each direction along I-94 between Benton Harbor and Ann Arbor is a big pain. I also noticed the lack of expressways in Michigan. It is either all (freeway) or nothing (two-lane).

It looks like there was a freeway planned for US 31 north of Ludington from the way the interchange looks. I am honestly surprised there isn't a freeway that connects Traverse City with the rest of the freeway network.

The city that likes congestion?
