This is nothing new to anyone who has lived around Seattle for any length of time but there is hope....there are several MAJOR road projects in the pipleline for Seattle which should easily bring us up to to the number one spot withing the next couple of years! Soon we won't have to be embarrassed at being so far behind in the pack. It won't be long before downtown Seattle traffic has ground to a near halt, and people will find that rollerskating around town will be far faster than driving.

This is one of the reasons I bought my farm in rural Kentucky.

I think it is also funny that coming into Seattle on I-5 you have five lanes max, but going into Louisville on 65 (a much smaller city) you have six. :)

Congestion in Seattle is so bad that it keeps me home. It’s just not worth the hassle.

You aughta try going southbound on I-405 through Renton on a Saturday afternoon. It is a parking lot. It is also criminal.

Buffalo didn’t make the list! YEAH!!
I don’t miss the traffic in Dallas at all. I’d do it again though if I can get back down there.

Nashville, TN. is hell durring rush hour and the majority of the rest of the time. So is Atlanta. I’d hate to see the traffic in those cities listed.

This section of freeway wastes 94 hours of peoples’ time per week, the study calculated.

Huh? What does that mean? There are only 168 hours in a week, so this implies that the average driver is stuck in traffic over 13 hours a day. That makes no sense at all.

I convinced my husband to try surface roads during peak times in Houston - he has learned back roads and shortcuts and routinely beats others to locations because of their insistance on using the “parking lot” freeways.....

If they just counted fruits, nuts and fairies, we’d be closer to #1

I lived in San Francisco almost ten years and know a few tricks to navigating the roads to cut time dramatically no matter how congested the streets and highways seems to be, just as long as you don't want to drive to Outer Sunset.

Even if traffic is bumper to bumper on I-280N or 101N, you can always get off on Bayshore and rip through the ghetto. You'd be surprised how many liberals wouldn't think of chancing it.

I also think that cutting through the backside of Potrero Hill off Cesar Chavez to 3rd Street corridor is the fastest way into downtown. You could spend a half hour on the freeway with everyone else, or five minutes going my way.

Potrero Hill's streets are like a ghost town compared to the rest of San Francisco if you want to drive like Steve McQueen in 'Bullitt'.

Dallas and Houston are worse than Boston????
