NOTES
Numbers may not add to totals due to rounding.
This edition of this table is not comparable to previous editions due to a change in the categories of road conditions.
Data is reported as the International Roughness Index (IRI) in inches per mile. Lower IRI represents smoother riding roadways. For more information on the rating system, refer to National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) report 20-24(37)G, Technical Guidance for Deploying National Level Performance Measurements, available at http://onlinepubs.trb.org/onlinepubs/nchrp/docs/NCHRP20-24(37)G_FR.pdf as of November 2011.
