NOTES: Numbers may not total due to rounding. Condition for rural and urban Interstates and other principal arterials, urban other freeways and expressways, and rural minor arterials based on International Roughness Index data from the Federal Highway Administration. Condition for urban minor arterials and collectors and rural major collectors based on Present Serviceability Rating data from the Federal Highway Administration.
KEY:Poor= needs immediate improvement.Mediocre= needs improvement in the near future to preserve usability.Fair= will likely need improvement in the near future, but depends on traffic use.Good= in good condition; will not require improvement in the near future.Very good= new or almost new pavement; will not require improvement for some time.
