Worst traffic in the Western world? (motel, train, rain)

[decafdave]

I would have made it a poll but there are just too many options. By "Western" I mean North America, Europe, and Australia/ NZ. Take other factors of driving into your answers- congestion, rudeness, congestion charges, etc.

What say you?

Los Angeles by far. But it is a fact that the worst traffic in the world is Sao Paulo, Brazil.

NYC metro bar none

I thought brazil didnt have as many cars as us

^ They don't overall, but Sao Paulo does and everyone drives. The freeways are narrow and congested and infrastrucure is poor. Sao Paulo is the largest city in the southern hemisphere and its infrastucture is comparable to a city the size of Atlanta or Detroit.

I think that LA is worse than NYC. In NYC you at least have the option of taking the subway/train to avoid the traffic. In LA there aren't many options beyond taking the bus (which are also stuck in traffic). So everyone ends up sitting on the freeway during rush-hour.

LA BY far is worse than NYC number one is the u.s. is LA

Los Angeles, New York, London, and, yes, Sao Paulo. Nothing in Australia could remotely compare to these overcrowded cities. Sydney, the biggest city in Australia is a breeze compared to the above.

Atlanta, Washington DC and Miami are all much worse than LA.
