Here’s How Bad California Roads Are Ranked In The U.S.

A new report from ConsumerAffairs ranked the worst and best states to drive through.

Here's what the ConsumerAffairs Research Team had to say about their study:

"Bad road conditions are more than inconvenient — they can be dangerous and lead to expensive car issues... We analyzed government reports and recent email surveys to score states on pavement roughness, road spending per capita and local sentiment."

So where does California rank on the worst and best states to drive through?

According to ConsumerAffairs' findings, California is the 4th state with the worst roads coming in after Rhode Island, Hawaii, and Wisconsin.

"Currently, the Golden State has more than 1,530 bridges and over 14,220 miles of highway in poor condition. California drivers pay about $800 in costs due to driving on bad roads each year," the research team wrote in the study. "Those who say their roads are bad frequently mention high gas taxes and shoddy patching jobs."

Here are the 10 states with the worst roads:

1. Rhode Island
2. Hawaii
3. Wisconsin
