I got a speeding ticket in your second pic last month. It’s like 8 degree grade. You coast at 85.

I believe it.

If Memphis to Little Rock on I-40 is absent it casts huge doubt on other data.

I would have thought that the highways in Jersey would have been deadlier

I-24 definitely on the list. The Paducah corridor is just retarded teenagers and old folks who can’t drive. However, that Nashville area where it connects I-40 and I-65, better be ready.

So I lived in 4 of the top 6. I4 is dangerous, but frick 192 is the worst. And there is a stoplight ever couple of miles, so it to be the deadliest 3 and not be an interstate is saying a lot.

It’s those damn rims in Houston that always fricked with my head.

Not always the best route. My wife use to take that going from the Woodlands to Texas Children’s. If my wife left before traffic, I45 was a good 10ish minutes quicker than hardy.

I can vouch for Houston. Those people are the worst drivers in America.

When will they finish widening I-12? At least get it done to Hammond.

There is an insane amount of traffic at I5 on that spot. I caught a late dodgers game one night and stayed in a hotel in Burbank. There were six lanes of traffic at 230 in the morning, all trucks from the Long Beach port heading to 10 or 40 further north.


If I had to guess, most of the i5 fatalities don’t occur on the stretch from Burbank to Long Beach, but instead further north in the “grapevine” where there are tons of trucks and they get snow/ice.

Most of the fatalities are from assholes driving too fast and/or passing in the truck lane. It snowed a few times, not much. I missed a crazy mudslide by 45 minutes. Imagine 4 lanes of 3’ mud extending 250’ and running down hill.

Some pictures of I-26 between Asheville and the TN line:


It's gorgeous and pains me to admit as a proud Tennessee resident that the North Carolina side is slightly prettier.

I was doing some work in Morganton,NC 7-8 years ago and had to drive through the Pisgah National Forest on the other side of Asheville a few weeks in October. At peak fall color, it was legitimately the most beautiful scenery I've ever driven by. It put Gatlinburg and Cades Cove to shame.

I drove Lafayette to San Antonio today. Thought I was going to die multiple time. I10 wasn't playing today.
All the fricking construction going on right now is ridiculous. Sulphur, then before the state line in LA, then the fricking 2 decades long construction from the TX state line to Vidor, then the construction from west of Beaumont all the way to Winnie.

It’s a goddamn death trap.
