In a statement to, eSpatial, a map company, said that driving conditions in the U.S. vary greatly from one state to another. Travel + Leisure. “Some states are well-maintained and have manageable congestion. Other states, however, can be frustrating or dangerous to road users.
The team at eSpatial analyzed data from government sources and real-time traffic insights to determine which states had the most chaotic roads. They measured each state based on five factors: the traffic congestion, derived via Numbeo’s Traffic Index; road satisfaction, derived from Bureau of Transportation Statistics; the number of Google searches for “pothole complaint”, the total road deaths per state and the speeding-related death traffic, both via the Department of Transport.
