Since I live in Savannah, and my family is in Warner Robins (just south of Macon) I am an I-16 veteran.

Yes, it is desolate. Nothing but pine trees and dead deer during hunting season. However...

You can usually run 80+mph. For some reason, the cops on 16 are all on the same schedule. They're either all out there, or they're taking the day off. Now that they're finally repairing a large 40 mile stretch of it going both ways, it's not in nearly the rough shape it used to be in. The exits usually show up ever 20 miles or so.

Sometimes think it is very dangerous, driving a car is becoming more and more people's attention more and more concentration, frequent accidents. I'd rather stay at home and play with remote control car, don't want to drive out.

I405 from Torrance to Santa Monica, you're looking at the back bumper of a Prius infront for 2 straight fockin hours.

esss13 08-23-2016 07:07 PM

NM also sucks for the amount of cops on that road. youd be lucky to get out w/o a ticket

MightyMouse13 08-23-2016 08:17 PM

West Virginia is the worst state I've driven across. I-10 through north Florida is pretty horrible too. No matter how much energy you have when you start the drive, you're guaranteed to be fighting sleep by the end of it. Just absolutely nothing between major cities hours apart, exits that are far apart, and miles and miles of no gas stations.

Utah,Wyoming,New Mexico ,arizona suck nothing but boringness even when I was driving 100 mph plus passing everyone lol

Texas, California

There a varying response here. Some people are concerned about nothing ness , and some people are concerned about too much traffic. I'd say from my perspective a slammed car in San Francisco bay area is not worth it. Too many people too many vehicles, too many times you get on and off your clutch. There's pot holes everywhere to damage a slammed car.

indiana was terrible

SidewayzAsFck 03-21-2017 03:54 PM

Eh Jersey and NY (probably the worst place I've driven)... the cops such ass but the potholes will destroy you esp in the boroughs of NY.

Malik 03-29-2017 03:12 PM

new york roads are pretty rough.

Trap Star 04-02-2017 12:23 AM

I don't think there's anywhere worse than Atlanta as far as systemic traffic problems are concerned. A city of 6 million people shouldn't have traffic problems as severe as ATL but they just keep building fucking lanes instead of building a real mass transit system. Literally spending billions of dollars building more and more lanes because the state mandates they spend like 95% of the DOT's budget on road construction instead of some fucking trains.

I used to work as a valet at a hotel in midtown Atlanta. We were on West Peachtree Street all day and night 24/7, 365, and I saw people driving the wrong way up W Ptree so many times that we actually got used to waving people down to keep them from head on collisions down the road. The streets in the city are horribly marked, not marked, or just make random 90 degree turns and dump you out on a one way street where you can see the sign post that USED to say which way to go but now its gone. So good luck, you got a 50/50 shot, watch out for headlights. There are also plenty of roads you can accidentally turn down and end up in a place where you feel naked without a Kevlar vest.

Oh and all of I-85 has to get torn down due to apparently the antics of crackheads.

New Jersey clearly is taking the cake. We have pot holes the size of over grown water melons and just getting worse with no end in sight. Has cost me 2 OEM wheels in the past year and half.

Trap Star 04-18-2017 11:42 PM

Just to reiterate my point. In the last week or two we've had:
Truckload of foam Braves Thomahawks blocking a 10 lane highway

I-20 decided to randomly elevate a large section like 15feet

Another bridge fire

An overturned 18wheeler leaking toxic chemicals that shut down all ~20 lanes of 75/85 in downtown

A sink hole

Continued massive construction projects along 75.

And more. Here's a recent traffic map for a good portion of the metro area:

What you don't see is the 20+miles of sprawl past 285 (the ring), that's full of people headed towards town. He'll I used to hit traffic about 30 miles out on the NE side of town in the mornings

Really the only good thing all of this has caused is that there's been a 20% increase in Marta ridership already. There's also hints the suburban counties might finally get over their unfounded racial bias' and support an expansion. Still going to be hell for quite awhile.

Dunsparth 05-18-2017 02:44 PM

I am a long haul truck driver, i can say PA is probably my least favorite state to drive thru the roads are terrible and there is always construction.

FFang 06-21-2017 03:04 PM

Interesting read! This would help when planning out a long road trip!

What I wouldn't give for a change of scenery. Can anywhere be worse to drive, than California? Law enforcement camping at every corner. Cameras everywhere. EPA, CA DMV.. Road quality is decent, but I would trade it all for less regulations.

240boosted 01-18-2018 04:18 PM

New york is the worst state drive in the pothole are horrible avoid my state

Amen to that. And I lived in the bay area for the last 13 years! From San Jose to San Francisco, all of those points seem worse here.

Jorgs_7 04-24-2018 03:12 PM

Minnesota roads are complete trash, plows just rip the pavement up.
The road construction is unreal sometimes. Imagine cramming 12 months of paving into a 5 month window. LOL

But damn you can do anything you want modification wise, lol ZERO inspection.

Cant you CA people find a hook up to "pass" smog tests?

Chris889 05-17-2019 04:19 AM

Hmmm, running at that speed? I'll probably think again. Sorry for replying to this old thread though.
