Rhode Island Named 'Most Chaotic State For Driving' by Travel + Leisure

The magazine Travel + Leisure named Rhode Island the "most chaotic" state when it comes to driving.

Travel + Leisure said it relied on a statement from the mapping company eSpatial in drawing this conclusion.

"To figure out which states have the most chaotic roadways of all, the team at eSpatial analyzed government datasets and real-time traffic insights, measuring each state on five key factors: traffic congestion pulled via Numbeo’s Traffic Index, road satisfaction, based on data by the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, the number of Google searches for 'pothole complaint,' the total road fatalities per state, and speeding-related traffic deaths both via the Department of Transport," the Travel + Leisure story said.

And after all that, eSpatial figured out Rhode Island was the "most chaotic state for driving," apparently, Travel + Leisure said.

Massachusetts came in a "close second," the magazine said.
