Interesting that California has 5 of the top 10, with as much dough they claim to spend on the roads. Gas taxes are high enough anyway. Texas has none in the top ten, and has lower gas taxes and no state income tax, hmmm

 

71 percent?!?!?!?!? no wonder why everyone has pickup trucks out there.

 

I live in KC, and yes the roads are horrible. Luckily it is only on the Missouri side of KC, not the Kansas side (I live on the Kansas side, and the roads are really good).

 

no cities in ohio...i find that hard to believe....i cant drive around the block without my car gettin jacked up

 

hmm, those rating the roads must have been too scared to rate the roads here in PA. I don't think Scranton has paved a road in the past 15 years.

 

a lot of roads in PA are horrible. on 78 they're ridiculous, but after like 10 years they're repaving some of them now.

 

i agree with those california cities. despite the reliance on cars, lack of public transportation (and therefore government funding of public transportation), and a number of other factors, california has shitty roads and highways. both in LA and the bay area. LA is the worst i've ever driven, tho...

 

sacramento aint that bad. maybe b/c our freeways are soo small and congested

 

I'm really surprised that Boston roads are not rated worse.

 

I was actually surprised Sacto was on there. The freeways are just inadequate, the surface streets are plain terrible, especially in midtown where they totally screwed them up by redirecting traffic away from where it was designed to go just because people bitched about living on a busy street after they bought a house on one.
