Consumer Affairs’ 2024 edition of “The worst roads in America” features a big Minnesota brag that, for many residents, may induce a mixture of pride and a bit of astonishment.
The consumer news platform ranks Minnesota’s roads as best in the nation, describing them as “the smoothest” and “safest,” according to data from the U.S. Federal Highway Administration.
“An especially admirable achievement since Minnesota’s cold temperatures, significant snowfall and proximity to the Great Lakes create a hazardous set of conditions that can be tough on roads and drivers,” writes author Kaz Weida.
Rhode Island rightfully earned #1 worst roads in America. I’ve hit potholes so goddamn big I was expecting a blown tire and my shock to pop through my hood.
Funny enough, when I drove up to RI last time through CT, as soon as we hit the border there was a loud bang as we hit the shit roads then the GPS said “Welcome to Rhode Island.” I think it knew.
