Interesting. I was raised in Michigan and New York, vacationed often in Maine, live in FL now but go north every summer.
The Northern states, esp Michigan, have a tough row to how between the severe cold causing frost heaves, a short summer to repair and declining tax base. Even in the 50's and 60's when they had money they couldnt keep up.
I was a bit surprised at Ohio. We spent four months there last summer and did a lot of secondary and tertiary roads and didnt think they were that bad.
Maine was bad. Unfilled potholes.
There some bad roads in Louisiana but they are off the list.
I-77 through the Appalachians is bad.
