Rural Texas, with their "Texas two lane" highways is the only place I have ever driven where the driver of a car going 100 mph is courteous enough to pull off onto the side of the road right of way lane to allow a faster vehicle to easily pass.

Nice drivers, who drive really fast.

Louisiana looks like a stubby old car a little bit.

West Texas is really nice. High speed limits as well.

The answer is not Greene County Alabama.

Instead fixing the road, they put up a rough road ahead sign.

you a transformer or something? I bet your name is Minimus Tertiary

Most roads, non-municipal, in the US (the world really) either follow topography or is an old trail/path, which also followed topography. Therefor the road design is going to based on that.

Quality is somewhat related to design... a flat area gets "simpler" roads with less curves and therefore is easier to maintain. The other part of quality is simply political-econmomics.

So you want a flat, waterless (creeks/rivers = bridges = bottlenecks), but economically stable state ....

Texas depending on your route.

It may depend on what kind of car you are, but I'd say out West Wyoming, Montana, Utah.....

This sentence is the structure of not making sense.


OP's question is "If you had to have a car shaped like one of the 50 states, what state would you pick?"

Everyone or almost everyone is answering the question "which state has the best roads for driving (fast) on?"

It's funny to read.

I'd say California but gas would be really expensive.

I'll go Montana

This is a difficult question to answer because I don’t know what you mean.

The best state. that’s the object. To ride. So the state is going to ride. And the state is going to ride as a car, the indirect object. I think that’s right.

So you’re asking which state would be the best to ride as a car.

I think you mean which state, if it were a car, would be the best? Because what the post actually asks makes no sense. How do you ride a state and what difference would it make if I were a car?

So I’m gonna go with what I think you mean. I’ll say North Carolina.

Actually, someone did a study and Alabama has the best roads in the country.
