Lost Angeles is the worst traffic city in America. 'Carmaggedon' is no joke. Drivers in the worst traffic city wasted an average of 63.3 hours in traffic over the last year. Congrats to Los Angeles, although worst traffic city might not be the most coveted of titles.

If it’s rush hour I go to the airport (from Westmoreland county) via New Stanton and Washington. 80 miles versus 50, moving versus creeping along.
I know a few that avoid it completely with a busway commute. I’ve taken it a few times. It works well if your final destination is near it and your working hours are close to the bus schedule. Otherwise, not so much.
“Most Pittsburghers know better than to accept a job that lies on the other side of a bridge and/or tunnel.”
Most Pittsburghers should know to accept a job outside of Western PA when they are presented to you every other year ... but that’s a totally different subject :-).
That’s one intersection I’d never revisit. It’s an accident waiting to happen. Good place for an ambulance service and towtruck/bodyshop business, though.

Didn’t see Fort Lee.
I don’t know; Google caption just said “freeway exchange” but didn’t ID freeways or location. You’re probably right.
There’s more than one reason I don’t live in any of these.
It’s a sculpture.
You know a list I would like to see is Quality of Life quotient. Not sure how you could measure it but traffic would be one of the things included. Maybe there is such a list and I just don’t know of it. My #1 would probably be an island somewhere with a liquor store and Wegmans grocery store.
Well, that’s good to know. That would have to be one very mucked-up intersection. Good work!

We recently returned from 2 weeks of driving (i.e., had drivers) around India. Nothing compares to that insanity.
India? Man, you’ve got guts.
You got that right.
Add in that when you do get off the freeway, getting back on can be an exercise in rage management, as there are few onramps and they are not coherently located.
Used to get up at 0500 to cross Honolulu at 0530 to get to Pearl Harbor by 0600. Only way to avoid the mess. Made a 1.5 hour commute about a half hour instead. Same with coming home at 2:30PM.
Note that every one of the worst dozen cities are governed by Democrats.
The picture was taken in London’s Docklands area.
The building is Canary Wharf.
I won’t scroll through 50 but somebody paid somebody off to not include Houston in the top 10. I spent over 6 hours last Thursday getting to downtown and back on 290 and I-10.
