Rhode Island Takes Top Spot For Nation’s Worst Roads. Where Does Your State Rank?

Iowa is skewed because of bad bridges. I think the roads here are pretty good, and it is shown by having the 4th fewest miles of bad roads.

There are a very high percentage of bad bridges here. But the vast majority are on gravel roads that less than 50 vehicles a day over them. Most of Iowa is drawn out in 1 mile sections, with a road on each side, most gravel. So there are a lot of bridges over little creeks that dot the countryside. But those roads and bridges could be closed. But in 2025, hardly anyone would notice because there are no longer farmsteads on those roads.

I will bitch about government with the best of them. But the paved roads are very good in Iowa, and the snow removal is really good.

Florida is 34th? I know they aren’t talking about drivers or IDIOTIC YOUTHS (read: minorities) doing wheelies on electric bikes in the middle of the streets...

In Colorado, it’s either pothole damage or cracked windshields from kicked up rocks. The amount of trash on and about the roads makes one feel like driving in a 3rd world country…Oh wait.

I’ve always said highway quality is a reflection of statewide corruption. Any drive through Louisiana or New York proves my point.

Doesn’t matter to me as I don’t ever plan on traveling there. I had very much enough of that crap when I lived in Northern Maine.
