    We have some rough roads now and then, that just goes along with having roads, they deteriorate. But by and large the roads here in Indiana are kept in pretty good shape. There has been a lot of work the past couple of years and I'll be glad when it's caught up. I65 up to Indianapolis is getting tiresome with all the work going on.

    Road work is never finished, there are always roads that need work. Here in Clark county the goal is to pave every ten years. So 10% a year get resurfaced, that's the goal anyway.

    My guess is that a survey of 'whiniest residents' would track closely with this one.

    There was a time , 35 years ago , when North Carolina was known as ? the good roads state?. Our roads were second to none . Then the legislature in Raleigh began to ? borrow ?money from the state highway fund . Money for repair dwindled. Now all they care about are building new roads in the triangle area for the folks living in Raleigh and Durham

    Right? Calif gets honorable mention? Obvious the author hasn't had much driving time here. I-10 through Louisiana I had to keep my teeth clenched to keep from having them shaken loose. But there isn't a state listed that has potholes that can swallow a Freightliner like PA has.

    Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer proposed a forty five cent a gallon gas tax to fix our damned roads. Democrats have no problem spending other peoples money! Another loony leftist.

    I drive from my home in Virginia to Charleston, WV several times a year. That WV toll road beats me to death! And the tolls keep going up!

    During my last trip in September I noticed the road had improved noticeably.

    Only conclusion I can draw is west Virginia suffered a 9.0 earthquake since my last visit and it did millions of dollars in improvements. :lol:

    Living in South Carolina I have to concur the roads suck. Even patches of interstate are bad

    Back in the old days Georgia was well known for terrible roads which probably had a lot to do with the old saying "I've driven through hell and half of Georgia". These days Georgia has some of the best roads we've driven on in the US and we've driven all over the US in the past 20 years. Of course Atlanta is always under construction in several locations but otherwise the Interstates overall and the roads outside of the city are pretty smooth.

    I can remember riding with my mom and dad to Key West, Florida from Knoxville, TN back in the early 50s before there was any Interstate highways and the roads through GA were really bad.

    When we got to Florida then Hwy 1 was a pretty good road all the way to Key West. In fact Hwy A1A that runs along the beach that we drove on some during the day was a good road except, due to the shifting sand, it had some pretty big whoop-de-doos in it but there wasn't very many pot holes.

    I can remember we drove from above Homestead, FL to Key West at night and you'd have thought we were the only human beings on the planet at times. We would drive for many miles before we'd see another car.

    These days I would have to give the prize for the longest, roughest, stretch of Interstate Highway, about 105 miles of it, to Washington's Interstate 90 approx. from Ellensburg, WA to Seattle, WA. I thought the suspension was going to fall out of our car last year on that stretch of road. :shock:

    It is a bad stretch. Seattle south on I-5 has been bad for a long time too.

    I-5 south through California is bad , too, for long stretches.

    I see a Jeep Wrangler going through town now and then. On the spare cover is painted "pray for me, I drive WV Rt 7 ". I'm with RobOz, I think PA belongs somewhere on this list.
