Have you ever driven over a pothole and needed to get your tires checked? Or are you seeing more cracks on the road on your drive to work? These are some signs of poor road conditions, and it is costing motorists more.

An exclusive survey by The Hearst Television National Investigative Unit and MOTOR Information Systems of car technicians, engineers, and service managers revealed that, on average, motorists spend up to $1,000 annually on repairs caused by poor road conditions.

Road conditions are measured using the International Roughness Index (IRI), where roads with an IRI below 95 are classified as "good," those between 95 and 170 are "fair," and roads above 170 are deemed "poor." These classifications highlight the varying levels of road quality and their potential impact on vehicle maintenance costs.

Rough Road Rundown is a game that simulates road condition data analyzed by the Hearst Television Data Team from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics and Highway Performance Monitoring System.

See how far you can go, without exceeding $1,000 in repair costs!
