Michigan Has The Worst Roads In US: Study

MICHIGAN — If you’re a driver, you know the roads in Michigan, well, aren’t the best. Now a new study has placed Michigan as dead last in road quality.

Lvl5, a company that creates HD maps for self-driving cars, recently released a list of the states with the best and worst roads.

Michigan has the worst roads in the U.S.,according to their study. Looking for the best roads? Try Florida.

The company logged more than five million miles of driving data around the country.

"The methodology for ranking these videos included randomly selecting video frames from the videos (in total, 15 million frames sampled), and excluding all but the surface of the road from predictions by a neural network,” the company said. “Their neural network measures quality in four distinct areas: road paint fading, pavement cracking, potholes, and surface flatness. The data was normalized by frame density, and filtered to remove areas with not enough data."

After Michigan, Iowa, Indiana, Ohio and Kansas rounded out the top five for worst roads. Florida, Hawaii, Washington, Virginia and Tennessee finished on top.
