What the fuck. Why does florida get scenery pictures while everyone else gets traffic pictures?

Anyway, yeah, SF = the pits. I can't believe it's number 10

zenki1995 · 05-01-2008, 08:56 PM

In L.A 4:00am to 10:00am is traffic going toward Los Angeles

2:00am to 5:00am is traffic going out of Los Angeles

iwishiwas-all* · 05-01-2008, 08:59 PM

hahah yay miami is #3! i can make a case for us to be number 1... the added time spent in the car from the daily line of 5 consecutive accidents on the palmetto by unlicensed motorists

blacklable245 · 05-01-2008, 09:01 PM

i walk so traffic is GREAT!

Yeah, but we finally beat Cali in something....

muddafakka · 05-01-2008, 11:31 PM

I had a feeling Orlando would make it on the list but damn, at #4?

Public transportation sucks and people don't have a fucking clue when they're driving on the highway but I didn't think it would beat out other larger cities.

And I love how they didn't post a pic of the sucky early morning traffic, instead preferring to show downtown.

Your traffic is so bad, mainly b/c of the tourist. I would know, I was just there last weekend.

I always knew Atl had disproportionately terrible traffic for how big it is. I think the issue is just poor road planning. If you do your homework, you can find alternate routes that are basically barren. Too bad the roads all curve so much that you could never figure this out without constantly staring at a map.

speaking as a local, LA traffic sucks b/c the drivers here in general are sissies and have no sense of courtesy (i.e hogging up the fast fwy lane, not using blinkers). Plus most ppl here just drive slow. young ppl don't drive too much faster than the elderly.

idk about road rage bieng #4. do date, I've only had 2 confrontations since the 10 yrs I've lived here. I don't get upset so much b/c the drivers here are at least predictable in their foolishness. You just drive more defensively to anticipate disaster.

shmiddy · 05-02-2008, 06:59 AM

where the hell is new york city in this whole equasion?

water · 05-02-2008, 07:45 AM

FL sucks to drive in.

WanganRunner · 05-02-2008, 08:11 AM

DC traffic should indeed be way worse than #7, and LA should be worse than #9 by a long shot. We should probably be 3 & 4 behind Houston & Dallas.

Atlanta gets overblown, I go down there 2x/month for work and it's nowhere near as bad as DC is, IMO. Even at Rush Hour I can still get from Buckhead to the Airport in like 45 mins or less.

05-02-2008, 08:18 AM

traffic in so fla. + cell phones = fail

shmiddy · 05-02-2008, 09:47 AM

new york is pretty bad

The other bad thing is that in order to fix the roads (Which if you've visited ATL you know that shit's needed...Fucking 3' deep manholes, 12' wide double lane 1 way conjested traffic) they have to have them closed down and a lot of the businesses don't have alternate routes so it's nearly impossible.

emersonLP · 05-02-2008, 11:32 AM

Ah Atlanta. I live 17 miles from work and it takes me about 45 min to get there in the morning and 1 hour to get home. And I dont even live or work inside the perimeter, this is suburb traffic. Its just too damn busy everywhere. Im going to move later this year probably and I will definitely be moving right next door to my workplace if I can...Hell, id live in the building if they would let me!

Yeah that's true.

Just a glimpse of Orlando's International Drive...a tourist hot spot. You'll never see me driving around there during the day.

Uggghhh, worst road EVAR. We where stuck there for like an hour and a half. its faster to walk. I wasn't driving, if not I would have avoided the road.

Andrew Bohan · 05-02-2008, 11:49 PM

commute from my bedroom to my garage is like 8-10 seconds, longer if i pee first

ZenkiCam · 05-03-2008, 12:14 AM

Atlantas Highways are crazy.. i hate the traffic and people fly here... like i had a cop tell me a couple weeks ago that the AVERAGE speed of people on the express ways is around 85mph.... and thats the average much lower than how fast some of the bone heads drive.
