States with the worst roads

Here is the study results.

Only 37 states listed. Suprising that the state that gets the most complaints about road conditions on this forum is in the bottom 10 for "worst roads"...

Past experience to me has seemed to be that,,,,,
The worse a states taxes, the worse their roads.
Somehow the constant "Mo money" doesn't fix anything.

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.
