American drivers sometimes have to endure annoying traffic and difficult conditions to get to their destination. Whether it's coming home from work, traveling to another city, or simply running errands, motorists tend to encounter many headaches on busy highways. Some of these roadways develop a negative reputation from all corners of the nation. These issues can include poor infrastructure, dangerous weather conditions, frequent traffic congestion, or travel season complications.
Volvo surveyed 3,000 drivers to determine the most loathed highways in America. The carmaker ranked the 100 most hated roads to drive on based on these findings.
According to the study, one of the most hated highways is in Florida: Interstate 95. Ranking at No. 12, analysts noted that this well-known interstate tends to get "heavily congested," especially in the Miami metropolitan area.
Two more highways landed on the list: US-1, which runs through the Florida Keys and invites sluggish traffic during peak tourist seasons; and I-4, which treks through Orlando and sees frequent traffic jams and accidents.
Here are the Top 10 most loathed highways in America, according to the survey results:
- US-101 (California)
- I-5 (California)
- I-405 (California)
- I-76), Pennsylvania Turnpike (Pennsylvania)
- I-70 (Colorado)
