Driving can often be a great way to relax and unwind, cruising through back roads and listening to music or your favorite podcasts, but it is not always a pleasant experience. Many variables can factor in to whether or not a place is good for driving, from smooth and steady terrain compared to pothole-ridden highways to heavily-trafficked roads with bumper-to-bumper congestion or pleasant drives with nary another car in sight.
WalletHub compared some of the biggest cities in the America to determine which are the best to drive in and which are the worst. Four cities in Ohio managed to make the cut, with two locales ranking among the worst cities in the country to drive in:
- No. 20: Toledo
- No. 50: Columbus
- No. 58: Cincinnati
- No. 71: Cleveland
Cleveland ranked the worst overall, coming in at No. 71 thanks to its low marks in the cost of ownership & maintenance category, while Cincinnati ranked slightly higher at No. 58, earning low marks in the safety category. On the other side of things, Columbus ranks average right in the middle of the list and Toledo is among the Top 20 best overall.
