Oh yeah I-4 traffic sucks in Orlando! And it's ripped up pretty good now with the whole "Ultimate I-4" construction. I just took my Camaro to the dealer this morning to get the little rubber strip reattached under the front chin spoiler as it got partially ripped off yesterday when I hit some road construction debris in the early morning darkness. I filmed the Disney area roads on my bike during a weekday late morning so there was very light traffic at that time. I avoid I-4 at all costs and usually take the beltway roads - they're tolled but super smooth and fast.

They will do that to the residential roads down here in Florida (Tampa Area), but they are promptly repaved afterwards. They simply use that to seal the cracks. But that pic shows that they painted right over the damned tar. Wow.

Yeah MI roads are the worst. Gov Snyder is just like all the rest. He promised to do something about it and nothing has happened. Even after they raised the gas taxes.
One good thing about MI though, we dont have emissions testing/inspections. They tried it for awhile in 3 counties but people really didn't like it and they finally abandoned the idea. |

Come on up to Maine if you want to see the worst roads! At least you have pavement!! ( kidding.... well kind of)
Just got back from a road trip to Orlando. Seems the further south you go the roads improve. I have to second what was stated earlier about Disneys roads. They are awesome. I also noticed the highways in Tampa were super nice too. Not so much here in Maine. The salt, sand and potholes are so bad, it is usually the end of May before I like to take the Camaro out. |

I live in northren Ohio & when you cross over the Ohio line the first thing you will notice is the roads get very bad right away. Michigan must have a very low budget for street repair and maintenance. Some of the roads are no longer roads.

Ten miles of I-4 is a complete disaster of construction but other than that and a few teeth rattling old school brick streets they do an excellent job around here.
The toll roads are top notch - maintained with precision and smooth as butter. Too bad most of the drivers here should have never been able to obtain a license. A large percent drive with a suspended or revoked license if they ever got one at all.

When we left the granddaughters we told her that if she wanted to see Nana and Grandpa then she needed to catch a flight to New Bern NC! On a positive note there are many friends there I miss, Italian sandwiches and fresh scallops at Bay Haven. Best of wishes Larry

So march started with plows only having to take to the streets ONCE all winter long. Yet the roads are by far the worse I can remember, I think they tried to make up for the entire winters overtime on that one storm. I can not tell you how many Plows I saw driving down a street with "0" snow on it scraping a bone dry surface with sparks shooting out everywhere. AMOF I was watching the news one morning when maybe a 10th of an inch had fallen at the beginning of the storm and as the live reporter was doing her story a parade of big massive plows were coming down the block plowing the same snowless street one after the next after the next, it was hysterical

In North Dakota there's this cool thing where if there's not snow on the ground, there's construction on the roads. And there's not a lot of roads in North Dakota... Or a lot of anything for that matter.

I've driven in 45 states and Michigan does have the worst roads. I go there every year for the Camaro Superfest.

NYC has one of the worst known road conditions (at least on the eastern side of the US). The snow and salt spreadings just make the roads worse, with increased potholes.

California and Michigan are 2 states severely bankrupt. However like ALL states; road taxes are there to repair roads. However the politicians “move” that money to other places of “need” such as help out Joe Shmo’s organization which in turn puts money back into their pocket
