I think New Orleans has some of the worst surface streets. But that looks pretty terrible as far as highway goes.

Trucker surveys usually rate New York and Michigan as having the worst roads.

Ohio's secondary roads are almost universally pretty bad, although the interstates and other divided highways tend to be okay.

Drivers are part of the roads too...

I vote Seattle

4 lanes... 4 cars side by side .. going 15-20mph under...
If it rains.. they are going slower
If it's sunny people are not used to it and.. they are going slower
If it's no rain .. no sun.. no wind.. they are in Zen mood .. and going slower

Garage
Massachusetts is legion for its horrible roadways. Winters up here reap havoc on asphalt.
A newly paved road can be reduced to the "surface of the moon" in no time.

I second that. Seattle has drivers that could make a preacher swear. We have some of the highest gas taxes in the states and roads that are like an old fashioned wash board. I-5 between Seattle and Tacoma beats a suspension to death.
