I-10 across Louisiana is legendary for how bad it was. I say was because they redid it awhile back and now it's one of the nicer stretches of interstate around. But I remember the songs we used to sing accompanied by the rhythmic thump thump thump across 400+ miles of bad highway. If you wanted a different tempo you sped up or slowed down.

I dunno, the stretch of US287 that goes from I40 in Amarillo through Wichita Falls to US380 to Lewisville north of Dallas was *AWFUL*. And that was all pretty rural except for the towns.
