3 FL Freeways Top List Of 'America's Most Loathed Highways'

FLORIDA — It's no surprise that three of Florida's busiest, most congested freeways made the list of "America's Most Loathed Highways." The state has hordes of tourists and snowbirds who visit, a constant influx of new, permanent residents, and Interstate 95 — which runs the length of the East Coast — traverses the Sunshine State.

The top three worst roads in the U.S. are all in California: U.S. Highway 101, particularly in the Los Angeles and San Francisco regions; Interstate 5, which runs from the U.S.-Mexico border in San Diego to the California-Oregon border, including a nightmare stretch through downtown Los Angeles; and Interstate 405, known as the San Diego Freeway, which in the Los Angeles area is "infamous for its gridlock."

Compiled by Gunther Volvo Cars Daytona Beach, the list ranks the top 100 most loathed roads to drive on across the country, based on a survey of 3,000 drivers.

Here are the Florida freeways that made the list, and what the writers said about them:

No. 12, I-95: Especially in the Miami area, this interstate can be heavily congested.

No. 34, US-1: Running through the Florida Keys, it can become quite congested, especially during peak tourist season.

No. 45, I-4: This interstate, particularly through Orlando, is known for its heavy traffic and frequent accidents.The top 5 worst freeway stretches in the United States are:

• US-101 highway in California
• California, I-5
• California, I-405 (San Diego Freeway)
• Pennsylvania, I-76 (Pennsylvania Turnpike)
• Colorado, I-70
