The states with the best and worst roads as mentioned by Overdrive magazine are:

Best roads: 1. Florida; 2. Texas; 3. Tennessee

Worst roads : 1. Pennsylvania; 2. Michigan; 3. New York and California (tie)

Best highway segment: 1. I-40 Tennessee; 2. I-75 Florida; 3. I-10 Florida

Worst highway segment: 1. I-10 Louisiana; 2. I-95 New York; 3. I-40 Arkansas

In other categories, Ohio ranked third for best rest stops and best truck stops and was second for "toughest on truck inspections and law enforcement."

Ohio also ranked second for "best automobile drivers."
