A recent list published in Reader's Digest tells which state's roads are the best, and which are the worst. Kansas, Wisconsin, and Montana have the country's best roads, according to the list. The magazine used data from the Federal Highway Administration while compiling their list. But Montana, making the list because of its good infrastructure, also makes the list of the worst roads in the country. Part of the reason Montana roads are so deadly is because when drivers are under the influence of alcohol, they drive recklessly on the Montana roads and often don't wear seat belts. Alabama was ranked as the deadliest state for speeding.
While I wasn't surprised that Montana has some of the country's best roads, I was surprised that it has also been said to have some of the worst, and most deadly, roads. I think that it more depends upon the person driving rather than what kind of roads they are driving on. While I know that some parts of Minnesota have bad roads, I don't think our state would do too bad on that list. Minnesota isn't one of the more populated states, and many roads have been redone. I think that Minnesota is, in general, a safe place to drive, and live.
