Go drive in Youngstown and tell me if you still think that. I think Flint has better roads than most of that city does. 😂

​ @peterdangelo5882 so run for governor of Michigan, and make fixing the roads your top priority.

My wife and I took a day trip to Detroit from Pennsylvania last summer. I actually pulled over on I-75 to make sure I didn't have a flat tire, because my car was bouncing so bad from the road. Once I got into Ohio it was almost like driving on a cloud. 😂

​​​​​​​ @Sassyfrazz19 Ohio has ONE toll highway, a portion of interstates 80 and 90 running from Youngstown, bypassing Cleveland, then on to Toledo. And the money that one highway makes pays for that one highway and ONLY that one highway. And basically the only people who use it are long-haul truck drivers and people driving through that part of Ohio to and from other states. The majority of interstate traffic traveling to and from Ohio is on untolled I-70, which connects to several other freeways in the state that are also toll-free, thereby making it extremely easy to bypass the Ohio Turnpike.

​​ @rareview362 you are correct. State parks in Ohio are free, as well as Presque Isle State Park along Lake Erie in Pennsylvania, which is only about a 4-hour drive from Detroit.

I live in Pennsylvania, and our roads are only slightly better than Michigan's and worse than Ohio's. The closer to Philly you are, that's where the roads are okay. Everywhere else, they're terrible. I can't tell you how many tires and ball joints I've replaced, or how much fun it was to replace my exhaust due to the stuff they use on the roads in the winter rotting it out. Of course, my theory is that due to our mandatory yearly vehicle inspections, it creates extra revenue for both the state as well as for dishonest mechanics who nitpick and find every little thing to fail you for at inspection time. And, as you may have guessed, Pennsylvania gets their inspection money whether you pass or fail. It's all a racket.

As a Pennsylvanian, I love visiting Michigan and enjoy the scenery and the people there. But yes, your roads do unfortunately suck. 😂 I will say this though. Youngstown is definitely an exception to the "Ohio has better roads" rule. I think the roads in Flint are actually better than most of the ones in that city.

You're not kidding. Driving through Michigan on I-75 outside Monroe once, I actually thought I had a flat tire. The car was bouncing, and the wheels on the pavement were VERY loud. Of course, once we crossed into Ohio, everything felt normal again and my fears were diminished. 😂
