Published 3 days, 3 hours ago
Description

Tennessee ranks ninth in the nation for best roads, with only 9.9% of urban roads in poor condition and 3% in rural areas. This places it below the national average of 36% and significantly below the top spot held by Indiana. The states focus on road maintenance contributes to its strong safety record, with 1.59 fatalities per 100 miles driven. Funding for road maintenance primarily comes from gas taxes, vehicle registration fees, and federal funds, but officials are considering new fees to address future demand.
