Editors of a popular website have named New Jersey's most dangerous road.

First, an interesting fact — since we all seem to be driving seven days a week, federal statistics say the average person in New Jersey drives just over 12,200 miles per year. That's close to what our neighbors in Pennsylvania, Delaware, and New York do.

So with millions of New Jerseyans driving on New Jersey roads and highways every day, what is the most dangerous road here?

For that determination, we turn to thisvsthat.org, which lists every state's worst highway.
