Worst Road

Roads don’t aggravate people. People aggravate people. But the roads certainly help. Nowhere is this more obvious than on the U.S. 53 Bypass, where everyone collectively forgets what the left lane is for, ceases to understand speed limits, and does everything possible to annoy the heck out of us. In second place is a bit of urban planning that must have occurred under the influence of alcohol: the system of streets by Oakwood Mall. And making one of two appearances in the poll is Clairemont Avenue, because of the poorly timed stoplights. If only there were a field of study that could help. (Like maybe … MATH?) –Eric Rasmussen
