A recent study from Munley Law, https://munley.com/ shows the states with the best roads or smoothest drives. The results probably won't surprise you if you live and drive in the state.

Ever driven the roads in Idaho? That's the state that is tops on the list with some 95% of acceptable road miles. So where's Washington state on the list? Well we're pretty much at the bottom. Washington is in fact in the bottom ten states.
