1/ Data are reported as the International Roughness Index (IRI) in inches per mile. Reference: World Bank Technical Paper Number 46, 1986. Lower IRI represents smoother riding roadways. To obtain a comprehensive assessment of pavement condition, additional measures of pavement distress are needed.

2/ May include sections entirely on structures and unpaved miles.

3/ 2008 data used due to FHWA process status.
