Methodology: In September 2026, a survey of 3,004 drivers across the U.S. was conducted via cherrysignals.com to identify the freeways, interchanges and major urban routes where motorists would feel most anxious about experiencing a vehicle breakdown. Respondents considered factors such as heavy traffic, limited shoulder space, complex merging areas, bridge and tunnel crossings, and the difficulty of reaching a safe stopping point. The survey sample was balanced across key demographic groups, including age, gender and region, to provide a broad representation of U.S. adults.
