Consumer Affairs' 2024 edition of "The worst roads in America" features a big Minnesota brag that, for many residents, may induce a mixture of pride and a bit of astonishment.

The consumer news platform ranks Minnesota's roads as best in the nation, describing them as "the smoothest" and "safest," according to data from the U.S. Federal Highway Administration.

"An especially admirable achievement since Minnesota's cold temperatures, significant snowfall and proximity to the Great Lakes create a hazardous set of conditions that can be tough on roads and drivers," writes author Kaz Weida.

One of the most amusing parts of traveling between Washington and Montana is the stretch of North Idaho. Some of the roads it is like you're going along just fine, then suddenly it is mad max road quality, then back to fine.

Edit: Looks like this is contrary to what the chart is showing? Idk man Idaho has some real garbage. Like Seattle and Spokane definitely struggle with roads but as far as coverage across the entire state Washington is a lot better developed and maintained
