fun fact: the US has terrible roads (in a Western sense) too

the US is more comparable to a continent or part of the world than a country in terms of variety of roads you get

In general this isn't true though. Especially not when you consider the massive geography.

The roads in the northeast are awful. It hardly ever freezes in Texas and almost never is the frost line more than an inch deep so many roads go decades between needing repair or rebuild. Bad roads exist but I specified Texas for a reason
