Million dollar idea

[Hammerboy]

This idea is inspired by the awful road thread and my experience this weekend coming home from a trip.

Imagine opening up Google maps on your smartphone and when you are planning a route for a trip in unfamiliar areas you can toggle what minimum road condition you want on a scale of 1-5. Kind of like how you can toggle to avoid highways or toll roads. Or maybe even color code the route on the map based on condition. The technology may not be there yet to make this work as all the information would have to be crowd sourced currently or maybe in the future when smart self driving cars are commonplace they can send live info with their sensors kind of like live traffic we have today. This would also be beneficial in the wintertime for if roads are slick or not.

My first choice would be for the roads to be repaired and maintained as they should but I'm not counting on that.

I thought the same thing driving up sucky I77 last month.

The GPS was warning me of slow traffic, wrecks and I’m thinking “I sure wish it could tell me where smooth roads are”.

Our roads are bad.

That would be nice.It might also be a wake up call if people are avoiding your state because the roads suck.
