Ask long haulers which states have the best and which have the worst roads.
The minute you drive over the state lines of state like Penn., Calif, Ill, etc - you can tell by the rotten roads - ie., states that have been run by democrats for decades. Where all the taxes for roads goes is anyones guess - but it doesn’t go on the road - lotta heavy pockets
conversely, Pubbie run states are pretty much guaranteed o have good roads.
I recall a noticeable improvement going east from California into Arizona.
