Traveling roads in New York State can be a nightmare. It's no shocker that we are home to 3 of the most hated in America.

A recent nationwide poll has revealed that New York is home to three of the most hated roads in America, including one in the top 10. The poll was conducted by a car dealership in Florida, and the folks at Gunther Volvo Cars in Daytona Beach.

What Road Was The Most Hated In All Of America?

The US-101 highway in California, mostly in the regions of San Francisco and Los Angeles, is recognized as one of the absolute worst due to its significant traffic congestion and frequent bottlenecks:

The highway presents substantial challenges for drivers due to persistent heavy traffic conditions, often exacerbated during peak rush hours when the flow of vehicles significantly slows. In densely populated areas such as San Francisco and Los Angeles, the US-101 is notorious for continuous congestion, evidenced by an abundance of brake lights and the sound of horns."
