Alabama has the third best road system in the United States, according to a new analysis by Insider Monkey, a financial services website.

The survey compiled a list of 15 states with the best roads, with four of the top five in the South.

Leading the way was Georgia, followed by Florida, then Alabama. North Carolina placed fourth, followed by Nevada.

According to the analysis, Alabama’s urban pavement has a roughness of 5%, while its rural roughness is 1%.

According to the analysis, the state has undertaken 140 road improvements since 2020.

To rank the states, the site looked at 2020 highway statistics from the Federal Highway Association dealing with road quality, according to the International Roughness Index, which is calculated using several data points.

The analysis studied both rural and urban roads, with priority to rural pavement roughness, as urban roads are generally in better condition and crashes on rural roads also tend to be severe.
