16th Annual Report on the Performance of State Highway Systems (1984–2005)
Pretty interesting stuff. Shows how some of our tax money is being spent.
LINK FOR FULL REPORT
Missouri is doing better, but still really sucks! They're just starting to spend more on repairs. We got hurt a while back when a law to prohibit "open containers" was defeated. The law would have banned having alcohol open while driving. Since it failed federal funding requires a higher percentage of funding to be spend on safety measures related to driver error; crossing into oncoming traffic, safety rails, etc.......

Missouri
In 2005 Missouri reported a total of 32,464 state-owned miles. Missouri is one of the states that sharply improved its ranking of overall performance from 2000, from 39th in 2000 to 17th in 2005. Its best ratings were for administrative disbursements per mile of responsibility (3rd), receipts per mile of responsibility (6th), total disbursements per mile of responsibility (6th) and capital/bridge disbursements per mile of responsibility (7th). It scored lowest on deficient bridges (41st), rural primary pavements narrow (40th) and fatality rate (37th). So, while holding down and focusing expenditures, Missouri faces continuing challenges but is moving in the right direction.
