Why is it Michigan has the worst roads in the nation?

I've been all over. ( Calif to Ohio.) Smooth going.... In Michigan....Holes all over the roads. Uneven surfaces. Terrible.

I thought Pennsylvania had the worst roads. I used to live there.

I think a lot of it has to do witht he weather. The enormous amounts of snow, the sub zero temperatures, and the pavement. The roads take a lot of abuse just from the weather. All the salt and plowing in the winter cause a lot of pavement problems. I do agree that Michigan roads are the worst around. It is so noisy when you are traveling down the interstate.

for you dummies who are saying your states roads are bad look it up Michigan is number 3 last time i checked i don't remember the site was trying to look for it just but the reason Michigan roads are so bad is because we live so close to Canada and we get all the semi truck going to Canada and not to include out winters salt isn't good for the road. my step sis live in in grayling, Michigan her roads are good because they dont use salt and no semis

Brutal winters! Water gets into a crack,
it freezes and thaws. That's how potholes are made.

Probably from the winters with ice & snow and snow plows.

But Lousiana &Mississippi have the worst roards in the USA because of low population and a the pooerest gdp, gnp, and average income of its citizens it makes collecting taxes and allocated the tax money for roads difficult.

Don't forget the fact that Michigan has the highest weight limits in the nation for trucks - 164,000# without a special permit, more than double what most states are. The roads take a beating!
