Depends on where in Virignia you're talking about.  I live in VA too, grew up in NoVa (in one of the richest counties in the country) so the roads were all in great condition.  For the past two years I've lived in Richmond and the roads are terrible, all the infrastructure of this whole city is really.  As a city you can tell there was never a solid plan to construction, many roads will go back in forth between being a two way and a one way, sometimes they end and start up again, the blacktop is terrible too.  In the business district it's repaved on a regular basis but anywhere else is full of potholes and many places are missing paint on the road.  The only thing keeping this city alive is VCU really, they keep buying up more buildings and renovating them into new classrooms and along with that comes a repaving/painting of the nearby road and sidewalk repair.  Without a big college this whole area would have been a stagnant depressing mess, but all the kids boost the local economy a bit.

I used to drive an 18 wheeler for 4 or 5 years and have been in every state east of the Mississippi River and many others to the west of it.  And  as far as I am concerned  Michigan (Detroit mainly) has the worst highway road system along with Pennsylvania (the entire state) as far as I am concerned.  And the sad thing about it is that they probably spend more money repairing the roads than most places.  Their winters are so bad (Michigan) they are in a constant state of disrepair.  I once drove through one particular pot hole and didn't emerge for a couple minute. :)

The best road systems would have to be one of the Southern States (Florida, Georgia, Alabama etc...  The road systems seem to last longer as well because of the warmer weather.  And indeed Florida has some really good roads.   (Kentucky, my home state, is fairly respectable but not the best.  We recently had a large investment in road work and we are also getting a new Interstate system that goes through my town!  I-66.)

My dad (who's currently a trucker) would definitely agree with you on that. I would also add Minnesota Metro area to that list. Not just for the potholes, but for our freeway ramps alone as well. And Mississippi since my car almost got swallowed a few years ago.
