In the five cities with the roughest roads, potholes and other poor road conditions cost drivers more than $700 each year, our sister site, Aggregates Manager, reports.

The information comes from The Road Information Program’s (TRIP) annual report, “Bumpy Roads Ahead: America’s Roughest Rides and Strategies to Make our Roads Smoother.”

The report notes the following five cities have the highest percentage of roads in poor condition:

3. 3. San Jose: 56%

4. 4. San Diego: 55%
