Default Orlando is the worst sh!thole in this country.......

when it comes to the roads. Every single street, road, highway and blvd is just complete ****. You can't get away from it, its everywhere. The worst roads in this entire country....by far.

They just re-did a portion of the 408 and it still sucks, the car takes huge hits where every seem is joining bridges, every manhole sticks up, downtown Orlando is like Munich after it was bombed in WWII, and every other day there's new detours that take you all over the friggin city. Every inch of I-4 from the turnpike all the way to Altamonte.

Not only the **** roads, but this is the only city in this country where you sit in traffic 7 days a week, at any time of the day, for absolutely no reason. Never an accident, never a cop with someone pulled over, NOTHING, just piles and piles of cars backing up the entire city.

Just a rant. Orlando city workers suck.

Glad I'm ****** out of this place July 10th, it blows.

doesnt the city take bids on the contracts for all of the road work and then usually they just go for the lowest bid with more or less no reguard for quality?

The "Munich after WWII" comment had me rolling. I was thinking the same thing recently when I came down for a Photoshoot/Cruise in Orlando.

You know, it's not just Orlando. UCF has been building new structres and paving new roads, yet the same crappy roads have potholes in them and can bend rims. It's been this way since I got to UCF, and I've been here since Jan 2005. And also, the roads in ORANGE county suck, SEMINOLE isn't so bad.

I bottomed the Z out on the Turnpike last year. Chicago 2 years ago was retarded. The most intense driving to avoid tank traps ever. Was fun actually.
