With that being said, however, North Dakota still ranks poorly for driver competence. This means that traffic in North Dakota can get pretty bad despite the relatively low number of vehicles on the roads.
North Dakota does have comparatively good roads, though, so you’ll be driving on even and well-maintained surfaces during your drive through the state. Since road conditions are good, driving late at night or early in the morning can help you to avoid some of the worst traffic and make your driving experience a little easier.
