Top 10 Worst American Cities for Traffic (downtown, beach, expensive, south)

[garmin239]

After working in some of these cities like Boston, I found that as long as I didn't travel during rush hour, I could get to my destination without any traffic. While in NYC, there seemed to be traffic where ever I went.

Worst is NYC and DC.

NYC, DC and Miami are the three worst I've driven in. Philadelphia isn't great, although I imagine it's similar to most big-city traffic. I've seen some disturbing things on the road, but other than the main roads, Market and near the sports stadiums, I was able to get around without wanting to kill someone.

DC is the most dreadful place to get stuck in traffic.

Los Angeles definitely earned its #1 spot. Clearly justified. New York should have been on this list as #2. DC is bad too, but so is Philly. Miami could be equivalent to Atlanta's traffic severity.

LA is no surprise, you could drive on the 405 at 1am and there would be traffic.

Afternoon rush hour in DC goes from 2 - 8. What other cities have this bad traffic?

Manhattan, in certain streets 24/7.

I thought driving in Atlanta was worse than driving in Manhattan.
