Nice. As a professional driver which State has the worst highways? I always thought LA was bad but I saw some survey that said Washington, D.C. (that is not a State but the internet "news" doesn't fact check or have editors) and another said RI. Both small places so I don't really count them when we are talking highways.
I've never been to California so I have no educated opinion. A few notes:
* Illinois and Michigan are tied for total bad roads.
* D.C. sucks more for the hateful drivers than the bad roads. Tip: take I-95 straight through (most big trucks are using the 495 beltway to go around).
* Delaware and Massachusetts are okay if you know what times to drive.
* Rhode Island and Connecticut just aren't designed for 53 foot trailers.
* New Jersey is a functional madhouse and you can learn to pattern your driving accordingly.
* Big trucks should not be allowed in New York City. Plain and Simple.
* The cities in North Carolina suffer due to poor planning - not bad roads.
* The east coast of Florida is hectic while the west coast is much more relaxed.
* Memphis has the worst roads. Period.
Other than that, you just have to learn to drive the cities on an individual basis.
