Patch Picks: North Kingstown's Worst Roads

New England is a breeding ground for potholes and disintegrating roads. North Kingstown is no exception, especially following this year's brutal storms.

But, some roads deserve special recognition for being really bad. How bad, you ask? Well, these roads put the moon's surface to shame with the amount of craters (oh, sorry, potholes), are our tires'/front axles'/wheel alignments' worst nightmare and make us feel like we're off-roading.

Below are North Kingstown Patch's Picks for the five worst roads in town.

1. Post Road from School Street to the Hunts River Bridge. With certain roads, you know which lane is pothole-laden and you drive accordingly. On Post Road, there is no good lane. From School Street right up to the East Greenwich line, this road is probably the reason why you need to get a front wheel alignment every few months.
2. Quaker Lane from Stony Lane to Ten Rod Road. We honestly have taken Route 4 to avoid this stretch of road. We'd rather take our chances with the idiots on the highway than the menacing potholes and patches along Quaker Lane.
3. West Main Street in Wickford. Nothing says "Welcome to Wickford" like a bumpy road. It may feel like you're driving over cobblestone, but in reality it's just a quick series of potholes. 
4. Huling Road. This is just one of those roads that makes you want to scream "turbulence!" while driving down. 
5. Featherbed Lane. Any road that is closed due to its deteriorating condition definitely gets our vote. Featherbed Lane, a favorite roadway for high schoolers from the south end of town, has closed down last year following the destruction of the March floods.
