US EditionThe U.S. has the world's largest road network, but how does it rank in quality?
- The United States, with the world's largest road network exceeding 4 million miles, had 81.7% of roads in acceptable condition as of 2022.
- This condition reflects data from urban and rural roads classified by IRI scores, while a 2019 survey ranked U.S. road quality 11th globally.
- Road roughness varies by state, with some like Washington D.C. having 89.3% poor roads, and 39% of major U.S. roads rated poor or mediocre overall.
- In 2023, nearly 50,000 road fatalities occurred in the U.S., with a death rate around 13 per 100,000 compared to below 3 in countries like Norway and Japan.
- Despite steady road condition improvements since 2017, the rise in fatalities and infrastructure needs of $1.1 trillion suggest ongoing challenges ahead.
