All of Alabama's major roads are fairly well up kept.



The northbound slow lane of I-59 from Birmingham to the GA state line is one of the worst roads in the entire U.S. It's so bad almost everyone cruises in the fast lane, even trucks. Last time I was on it, I thought I was going to bite my tongue off from it shaking the car.

There is one stretch they repaved halfway to GA, and it's a glorious reprieve.

As bad as that stretch is, I would still say its better than LA. And did I really see someone in here say VA had worse roads than LA? Lol. VA is worlds better. Only road I remember hating was Cary St in The Bottom. (RIC)

John Denver would be hurt by this. He loved him some country roads.

Spent two weeks tooling around VA on a motorcycle and believe me the roads there suck arse, a few are of high quality but once you get away from the population centers holy hell they are bad.

As bad as I20 is across MS and AL it has nothing on I95 or I64 for shittyness. This is followed closely by I95 through S.C.

LA does have shitty roads compared to it's neighbors, even MS is light years ahead but there are worse out there.

Family from a town with many more stills, than stop signs. Nothing on roads in Lakeview and Carrolton.

And... We just decide to wait 30-40 years to fix a road.
