Massachusetts residents constantly complain about potholes. And it should come as no surprise given the way our winters wreak havoc on local roads every year.
But it turns out that the roads in Massachusetts aren’t so bad after all. At least according to a new report.
QuoteWizard, an online insurance comparison site, analyzed Google search data over the past year to determine which potholes are most common. And while Massachusetts wasn’t far behind, it didn’t even make the top 10 worst pothole states, ranking 12th.
Here are the 10 states with the worst pothole problems, as QuoteWizard reports:
- Michigan
- Indiana
- Rhode Island
- Vermont
- Pennsylvania
- new jersey
- ohio
- Tennessee
- New York
- Illinois
Perhaps not surprisingly, most of New England ranks fairly high on this list. All but Rhode Island and Vermont ranked third and fourth, respectively, and Massachusetts ranked 12th, Connecticut ranked 20th, New Hampshire 21st and Maine 32nd.
