Cities with the Worst Rush Hours

[riffjim4069]

From the NAVTEQ Traffic.com study:

1. New York
2. Washington D.C.
3. San Francisco
4. Los Angeles
5. Philadelphia
6. Chicago
7. Dallas – Ft. Worth
8. Atlanta
9. Houston
10. Denver

...and I live in two of the Top 10. I am not looking forward to the 3+ hour drive home this afternoon.

Well, it only took me 2 1/2 hours to drive home today. I hate traffic.

I'm actually surprised Atlanta isn't higher.

I learned how to drive in D/FW, maybe that's why I drive like I do today.

I have always told that Bay Area folks that make fun of LA traffic that their traffic is much worse, and they never believed me.

pittsburghs bridges and terrain make for problems, lots of bottlenecks and over the years many main road intersections were built on the cheap, where you cant get on in all directions

Ditto!

Surprised that Miami isn't in the list as well as the multiplex that is Norfolk/Newport News/ Hampton/ Virginia Beach/ Suffolk/ Chesapeake.

Miami would be but when there is a jam, at least 5 people will break out the machine guns and get things moving.

Norfolk Hampton Roads should be on the list, I agree.

Washington DC should be first. NYC is nothing compared to DC.

I have visited Houston and Chicago and they were really bad.

I'm actually surprised Atlanta isn't higher.

Ditto!

I don't live there but I have visited several times for business and I fully agree. There are people who live what should be a 15-20 minute drive from the office that end up telecommuting most days because of the traffic...
