New York Post - Stick to the boardwalk. New Jersey is
the worst state to drive in, as it has the highest road congestion nationwide and the second-worst road quality, a new study by MoneyGeek finds. Researchers considered traffic, transportation costs, safety, road infrastructure and weather in its rankings, released last month.
New York fared slightly better than the Garden State, earning the title of the 16th worst state to drive in. Nebraska was named the best state, thanks to the lowest vehicle-related costs nationwide and its infrastructure quality.

no the worst place to drive is washington dc. the beltway is a nightmare.
ReplyDeletehell yeah. only went there once. I never go back again. and the clowns in south jersey drive like they all insane or have a death wish or something. hated going there. granted philly was a shithole with thousands of damn potholes all over the place. one nice thing about the hills of pa here. the roads are great for the most part. and in the winter time, snow is cleaned off inside of a hour after it stops.
Deleteonly ever saw anything like that in West Germany long ago. in philly, they waited for the sun to clear the roads of snow. I never drive in a big town/city again unless there is no other way. dave in pa.
30 years as a Teamster tractor trailer driver, yeah NJ is bad, Washington DC is also bad but the absolute worst is the Boston area.
ReplyDeleteGood god, Nebraska has quality infrastructure? Our highways are the roughest highways in the country. When crossing the borders into Iowa, Kansas, South Dakota, Wyoming and Colorado the first thing noticed is that the highways are smooth. Nebraska's state engineers must have studied under the worst road builder engineers in the world. The lack of accidents [if there is such a thing] must be due to the highways being too washboardy to be able to speed.
ReplyDeleteI've driven cross country more times than I care to count. My vote for best drivers goes to Kansas. Nebraska also has friendly drivers. I find Tennessee interesting in that they seem to think coming to a full and complete stop at the end of a freeway on ramp is a good idea.
ReplyDeleteBorn and raised in "North" California. Those doing the ratings must have only driven the shit hole cities. My longhaul days kept me in the western states and I thought Washington was the worst. I recently toured the Eastern states and understand what others mean about Boston but, that's not a large area. While there I didn't understand the Yield signs on the freeway on ramps. I was raised using that as the hammer down lane to get to highway speed.
