My vote, Atlanta. Problem with Charlotte is trying to get OUT or IN during rush hours. I absolutely avoid 77 north of the city if it's near rush hour. It's a complete shit sandwich. Absolute stop. Other than that area, the rest sucks, but not Big City sucks. Knowing what one is talking about is widely admired but not strictly required here. Although sometimes distracting, there is often a certain entertainment value to this easy standard. -JALLEN "All I need is a WAR ON DRUGS reference and I got myself a police thread BINGO." -jljones | |||

It might be more accurate to ask which city or metro area has the worse traffic rather than the state. For example, these are both in California.   | |||

It has really gotten bad in Northern VA. Back when I was working in 1992, we had people from Fredericksburg and one maintenance person from Front Royal. Over time, one person was in a bad accident, during winter months they were late to work and left early to beat the traffic.  Even though they have upgraded he roads, the traffic has only gotten worst. 41 | |||

You guys are cherry picking certain city's and then calling out the whole state. Florida, from border to border has the worst traffic and drivers. To make matters worse, in the winter the place fills up with lousy drivers from New York and New Jersey.. If you're goin' through hell, keep on going. Don't slow down. If you're scared don't show it. You might get out before the devil even knows you're there. NRA ENDOWMENT LIFE MEMBER | |||

Okay after 2 million miles in all 48 states, 1rst place. I-95 from Richmond to Philadelphia. 2nd San Francisco bay area during rush hour with some of the worst roads you will ever see. Worst drivers in the industrial world, Texas with Dallas leading the pack. I have never seen such stupidity in my whole life. | |||

We have that problem even in little old Wickenburg, except they are mostly from the North Western states, and Canada. Clueless drivers, for the most part. | |||

San Fran was the worst I ever experienced, but it was such a small sample size, I figured something was out of the normal. 1 week trip spent half in traffic. The bridge was cool, other than that the city smelled of piss and all the restaurants were way over priced. Jesse Sic Semper Tyrannis | |||

Driven in 41 of the 50 States and probably logged as many miles. Had residencency in 17 of those 41 States over the last 30 years... and couldn't agree more! Not the mud-lovers in AR, the Wild & Wonderful West Virginians, the remote Bozites or the passive aggressive Germans in PA have anything on DFW drivers. Over 18 months, the shit I saw was remarkable and was many times considered commonplace. Just don't flip off another driver, no matter how stupid an act they perform b/c they'll decide to take some form of retribution. It's like Rome on crack cocaine & yes, I've driven there too. | |||

Strange. I have been to DFW area a number of times, never noticed any bad traffic. Most times the meetings have been in the hotel I was staying in and I only went out at night. Hotel to DFW was never bad. I stayed near old Dallas stadium and near grassy knoll. Still have the glasses from The Dome. Thought the area was pleasant. Jesse Sic Semper Tyrannis | |||

I'm blown away by the traffic in Charlotte :/ And the way the roads aren't in square grids. I'm from Mississippi, I'm in shock ! | |||

I have driven the Los Angeles and Bay Area corridors for years. Out of all of the major cities I have driven, Austin and Seattle are the cities that compare.

Hands down, the greater Los Angeles region. Nowhere else in the U.S. comes close. San Francisco has its moments because of the limited ingress/egress from the city, but so much of their businesses and jobs are located outside of the city limits. Traffic is often heavy but it's nothing close to what Lalaland's endless gridlock is. However Seattle is definitely making a run at that top spot. Mass transit is the pits and what progress there's been is measured in budget-smashing baby steps. Then there's that physical shape of the city itself; its hourglass funneling of traffic patterns and drive times is starting to rival L.A.'s, only not quite as far-reaching over as large an audience. Though I do know of several folk who do one-way, 100+ mile commutes. But taking 65 minutes on surface streets to drive 3.8 miles from the north end of their downtown (lower Queen Anne) to just south of it (SODO, and Home Depot) during the evening commute...that's Seattle. | |||
