When did under 4 million become "smaller"? There really aren't that many metro areas in the US greater than 4 Million. Sure it's all relative but 3.99 million is not a small metro area IMO.

I have NEVER seen a ranking with Baltimore in the top 5....do you have a link or source? I just can't believe it, but I'm trying to!
Oh, and btw, the Twin Cities are under 4 million and have moderately bad traffic, although I believe Austin, Denver, Seattle and other cities with environmental barriers like mountains and such are worse off than "we" are. The traffic there may surprise you nontheless, especially if you're expecting to breeze through.
Providence
Denver
Austin
Orlando ---> Yes
New Orleans ---> Yes, relatively
Seattle
Richmond, VA (I-95) --> No
Hampton Roads, VA (That tunnel on 64 is a gateway to hell, I ain't lying!)----> You ain't lying at all
cincinnati has so much traffic. Cincinnati has more traffic than cleveland and columbus
Totally agree. I was going up 75 from down south and traffic seemed to come almost to a dead stop just past downtown. I don't think there was a car accident or anything, but it was rush hour and I had never been in that sort of traffic situation before. I don't remember where the traffic started to flow better, but I just remember spending an incredible amount of time near stationary for a good length of time.
The weird thing is that the metro I live in is twice the size and rarely has this much backup unless it's an accident that closes a big chunk of the freeway or construction. Even then, traffic still moves at a pretty decent pace. It completely confuzzled me how something like this occurs.
After sort of looking at Cinci on Google, it looks like there's a huge bottle neck of freeways leading into downtown. The ring freeway doesn't seem to do much other than to serve outlying suburbs. That's some awkward freeway planning if you ask me.
