Good roads are signs of a wealthy and comfortable country. Bad roads are signs of undeveloped countries; they make trips difficult and cause more accidents and car damage.
Here are countries with exceptionally good roads and those with exceptionally bad roads:
1. Singapore
Singapore has the best roads in the world. Singapore’s government prioritizes road quality, investing heavily in inter-block driveways with high-quality asphalt, high-class markings, and up-to-date lighting and informational equipment. These inter-block driveways are ranked among the best in the world.
2. Switzerland
Switzerland’s highways are known for their intricate interchanges and high coverage, using specialized technology. Experts construct these interconnected roads, making even remote slopes and alpine areas accessible.
3. Austria
Austria’s roads are renowned for their craftsmanship, smooth tracing, good lighting, and a perfect fit into the mountains. With 18 highways, the country’s road network remains unaffected by challenging terrain, thanks to government efforts to ensure navigable and appropriate roads for its users.
4. Netherlands
The World Economic Forum ranked the Netherlands’ road infrastructure as the best in Europe in 2019, second only to Singapore. The Netherlands’ roads are noted for their superior urban planning, road building, and road surface. The principal thoroughfares in the Netherlands contain multiple lanes and elaborate interchanges.
5. Japan
The roads are normally in excellent shape, and most drivers are cautious. Due to Japan’s severe drunk driving rules, you rarely encounter a drunk driver. In fact, based on the number of fatalities per 100,000 vehicles, you’ll be driving through one of the top ten safest countries in the world.
