7 Worst Roads in America

Once you cross the state line into Nevada the road is no prob. Get with the program CA.!!!!!

Have driven I-15 from Barstow to LV, that is one scary drive!!!!! All that open space but one of the narrowist drives I've made. Never again!!!!!

I-15 north bound to Vegas on Friday isn't as bad as south bound I-15 to L.A. on Sunday. Imaging a bunch of tired, drunk drivers who just lost a bunch of money at the tables or the slots thinking they can drive 90 on a road that was undersized when it was built. Ten years ago Nevada tried to force California's hand by making the road six lane divided (3 each side) to the border, but CA has yet to step up. Maybe it's because they're a welfare state and would rather kill people than make a major logistical corridor safer. Limited access divided highways are supposed to be the safest kind of road, but I-15 between the NV line and Barstow is in the top 10 deadliest roads in the U.S.

My boyfriend agrees that La roads are the worse... I-40 N.Carolina is pretty bad too as far as turns go.....

I've driven on I-15 between Barstow and the Nevada State line. One thing do not drive it on a Friday during the day or on weekends, traffic will be backed up in both directions. Drive it in the early hours of the the day between 1am-7am traffic is at it's lightest. I've even driven it during the day in mid week traffic does slow down only because of the construction which never seems to end and with the tourist who has never seen a construction sight and those are the people who cause most of the accidents. Then you get the people who never seen an accident before.

I have to agree with the highway 299 comment. Highway 199 in the extreme northern part of CA, close to the OR border, isn't so fun either. Nothing like driving on narrow winding roads alongside cliffs with no guardrails.

I have also driven through Louisiana, will never drive through that state again. Completely tore up the bottom of our vehicle.

The truck drivers drove these highways for years. There heavy loads have torn up these roads. The states charge them a higher sales tax on their fuel, but they don't spend that money on repairing roads. The States use it to pay other bills, and pay for old and new welfare programs.

You wonder why they are like that. Demand your politicians to quit spending money they don't have.

I've travelled all over, and Louisiana roads are by far the worst. I live here, Acadia Parish, and the roads here are just one repaired pothole after another. Pitiful. I for one have given up on voting for tax related repairs....every politician in La. must be rich from these taxes, because they sure aren't going where they're supposed to be going.

My nomination are state roads in California. I don't mean well traveled roads that have tourist attractions on them, but roads in little hamlets in California.

I so agree with the PA assessment. I grew up there and lived at both ends of the state and the roads are absolutely terrible.

The fact that Chicago area roads aren't on the list bring your methodology into question. Bigtime. Take a ride on 290 during rush hour. Or go south on 294/80-94 around the bottom of the Lake and get back to me when you're anxiety level has you calling your Dr. for a perscription.
Potholes swallowing cars on surface streets (no lie!) and tell me your streets are worse.
Try winters of snow and ice followed by summers of unending construction and congestion. Suburban sprawl was not in the original design plan.

I have driven in 37 states, and Chicago-Gary area roads take the cake, bar none. It is the transportation hub of America and ridden hard and put away wet every single day.

I guess the taxes we already pay for road maintainence is now used for something else that's more important to our all knowing politicians.

I live right outside of New Orleans and they aren't joking about the Louisiana roads. They are just awful. When crossing over the Mississippi bordercrossing into Louisiana you know your there just by the *thud, thud, thud* It has actually woken my children from naps. It feels like you are constantly hitting speed bumps just at a much faster speed.

route 3 in nj is the worst

If the states want to know how their road systems,especially major one, are--ask truckers & business travelers---want the local info on side roads--ask the locals.

My husband was a driver long enough--he refused New York, New Jersey--most eastern seaboard runs and all southren runs past Ky or WV--one southren trip destroyed his refrigerator in his truck and cracked the undercarriage in the semi he was driving. Needless to say a 3 day run for him turned into a week and half more before he got back home.

Really with all the jokes about Missouri roads there's not even one in there?
