A new report analyzing the U.S. road conditions and how money is spent on improving them, shows Arizona has some of the best roads in the nation.
The report comes from California-based finance company MoneyGeek, which accumulated data from U.S. Department of Transportation and the Congressional Budget Office.
It found that Arizonaâs roads obtained a roughness score of 78.7, which is âa composite roughness score of all major urban roadways in each stateâ using federal transportation data. The company weighed each category of measured pavement roughness and aggregated the information across the entire state system.
The Federal Highway Administration indicates that a roughness measure of less than 95 indicates a road in good condition, between 95 and 170 is acceptable and greater than 170 is poor condition, the company said.
