Hell no, I could name a dozen others that are worse.

What part of San Fernando Rd are you thinking of? Some of the parts are pretty bad

There's a cool filming location on San Fernando Rd in Sun Valley , it's been used for a lot of tv shows and music videos
Dexter Filming Locations: The Pink Motel

Worth driving by if you are in the area. I drove by and saw it and then looked it up and read that its been used as a film location..I think the owners gave up trying to rent it out because they were making more money renting it for filming.

It's a pretty ugly street, but there are plenty of other streets in LA just as bad or worse.

The biggest problem with the roads in Los Angeles is not from normal wear, but the stupid patch jobs done by the city crews.
Most of the poor spots in roads is because the patches were not smoothed out flat when they were done.
Also street construction like digging up old water pipes is usually finished off with absolutely terrible patching.
They ALWAYS leave the patch work at least three inches above the existing street level, and when it hardens, it takes it's toll on suspension parts of all vehicles.
If we could just get these city crews to do the job right in the first place, many of the roads would be much improved.

I haven't been on or near San Fernando Road for years, but it has always been pretty crappy in my opinion. It might not be the worst street in Los Angeles country but it isn't going to win any awards for best either.

I guess it isn;t the worse, but it is the worse that I live by. Just feels like it belongs in Baker California. The area near the big Ralphs distribution center and the Home Depot feels like it belongs in an old dusty desert town.

I'm often on the area of San Fernando road in Burbank as I live nearby. Not a bad area, but it's a long street and some areas are pretty gritty and/or industrial.
