Teletrac Navman recently provided a closer look into deteriorating urban roads, and their costs to drivers, in an informative infographic. Data was pulled from a TRIP study examining road quality, pavement conditions, and travel trends.

The infographic maps the cities with the worst roads in the U.S. by their percentage of poor, mediocre, fair, and good roads.

Highlights include:

The city with the highest percentage of poor-condition roads is Concord, California. This costs locals more than $1,000 per motorist annually in vehicle operating costs. Only 5 percent of its roads are in good condition.

The San Francisco-Oakland area isn’t far behind, with 71 percent of its roads in poor condition.

Overall, 32 percent of all American urban roadways are in unacceptable condition. This is due to… Population and vehicle travel increases Poor choices in pavement materials Lack of proper road maintenance The current $112 billion backlog of needed bridge rehab

The city with the highest percentage of good-condition roads is Tallahassee, FL, with 79 percent good roads.
