Tucson Has Some of the Worst Roads in the Nation
Outside of California, there's no big city with worse roads than Tucson. TRIP, a transportation research group, says Tucson ranks fifth in the nation among large cities for highest percentage of roads in "poor" condition -- 53 percent. Los Angeles, San Francisco, San Jose, and San Diego were the only big cities (population more than 500,000) to beat out Tucson, and out of smaller cities, only Antioch, California, and Reno, Nevada, had a higher percentage. If you've been to Tucson at any time over the last decade, this probably isn't surprising. The TRIP report estimates that 27 percent of all the nation's major urban roads are in "substandard" condition, meaning Tucson's about twice as bad as the national average. Phoenix was right around average, with 30 percent of its roads in poor condition. This was all done using 2011 Federal Highway Administration data. TRIP says these roads "provide an unacceptably rough ride to motorists." The organization estimates that these roads cause car owners to pay for more vehicle repairs, and figures that Tucson has the seventh-highest vehicle operating costs in the nation.

I am so glad I found this blog. I agree with you completely. Driving down Grant between Wilmot and Campbell is comparible to driving off-road. In fact, I have driven on dirt roads outside of Tucson that are in better condition.
ReplyDeletepotholes on broadway wrecked my motorcycle, while i was riding next to a cop, the cop just cruised by while i went down, the city blamed me, for driving at night and not noticing the huge unmarked pothole due to construction work
ReplyDeleteAs many of these posts illustrate, Tucson is full of ignorant, low class people who wouldn’t know culture if it slapped them in the face. The beauty of the desert is overrated. Southern Arizona is just an extension of Mexico. They can have it back. There’s a reason Arizona was the last state in the continental U.S. to be admitted. If you don’t golf, like Mexican food, or ride a bike for fun, you’re screwed.
ReplyDeleteI agree 100%
DeleteI'M NOW FULFILL FINANCIALLY BECAUSE OF THE LOAN I GOT FROM LFDS .I would like to bring this to the notice of the public about how i came in contact with LFDS after i lost my job and being denied loan by my bank and other financial institution due to my credit score. I could not pay my children's fees. I was behind on bills, about to be thrown out of the house due to my inability to pay my rent, It was during this period my kids were taken from me by foster care. Then i set out to seek for funds online where i lost $3,670 that i borrowed from friends which i was rip off by two online loan companies. Until i read about:Le_Meridian Funding Service (lfdsloans@outlook.com / lfdsloans@lemeridianfds.com) somewhere on the internet, Still wasn't convince because of what i have been through until a relative of mine who is a clergy also told me about the ongoing loan scheme of LFDS at a very low interest rate of 1.9%% and lovely repayment terms without penalty for default of payment. I have no choice than to also contact them which i did through text +1-989-394-3740 and Mr Benjamin responded back to me That day was the I'M best and greatest day of my life which can never be forgotten when i receive a credit alert of $400,000.00 Usd loan amount i applied for. I utilized the loan effectively to pay up my debts and to start up a business and today i and my kids are so happy and fulfill. You can as well contact them through email: (lfdsloans@outlook.com / lfdsloans@lemeridianfds.com) WhatsApptext helpline: +1-989-394-3740 Why am i doing this? I am doing this to save as many that are in need of a loan not to be victim of scams on the internet. Thanks and God bless you all, I'm Oleksander Artem from Horizon Park BC , Ukrain.
