I saw a post like this in the Greenville section, and I was wondering the same thing. Other than Broad River Rd, Harbison Blvd, all of 378, Farrow, Two Notch, and maybe a couple other like St. Andrews, Lake Murray Blvd and 26 and 20, is traffic here all that bad?

Outside the areas you mentioned, I don't think traffic is bad at all. It's still relatively easy to get from one side of the city to the other.

Sunset Dr from Lex Medical to downtown Lexington is a parking lot during rush hour.

The train crossings can be a bit of a problem. Greenville doesn’t seem to have the same train traffic.

Greenville didn't grow up as the kind of railroad hub that Columbia was and still is.

True — I guesss Greenville avoided the trains because Spartanburg has the “Hub City”. We’ve been in Spartanburg about six months and it hasn’t been a problem at all. We had more stopping/trying to reroute when we were spending time in Columbia while daughter was in school.

Depending on where you are from, some say Columbia traffic is sissy traffic. I suppose to someone from say North SC it is hectic traffic.

I mean, for a metro it’s size. I know it’s not gonna be on the Atlanta scale.
