friday traffic in cincinnati is ridiculous from 5am to 7pm. obvioulsy milder between 10am and 1pm, but still a decent amount of traffic for that time of day
It sounds about the same in all major cities. In Denver, it's about 6:00am-9:00am and 3:00pm-6:30pm. There is a ton of traffic all day long, especially along I-25 (north-south through Denver) and back-ups are common at any time during the day.
Agree. I'd add, there's not much driving "against traffic' any more, unless one is going outside the metro area, e.g. to Loveland/Ft. Collins to the north or Colorado Springs to the south. And then, it's more like "less traffic" both ways rather than against it. There is a lot of traffic from suburb to suburb, with a clump going into the city in the morning and vice versa. Same with Boulder, lots of traffic both going in and coming out AM and PM.
Rush hour in Fort Lauderdale, FL goes from about 4 to 7 in the afternoon and about 7 to 9 in the morning. Busy on a grand scale, but the traffic moves. I found this picture of rush hour.

Reason: why arent the pictures showing?
Chicago starts around 6am, and quickly builds momentum until it peaks between 8:30am and 9am. Then it quickly dies down, and starts to build again around 4pm until around 6:30pm.
This is on trains and buses though, since that's what I take daily. I don't own a car, yuk, I'd go nuts in the traffic! I just read a book, listen to music, or sleep on the way to work.
I think for driving it starts around 6am, and goes until maybe 10am. Things pick up very quickly starting around 2:30-3pm, and don't die down until maybe 7pm.
It's a LOT worse on the highways than on the train. Your estimates are fairly accurate.

Fridays in Cincinnati are nuts! What is it, all those Michiganders heading south, I guess?
I-75 through downtown and Kentucky is heavy a good part of any day with a lot of trucks. But mostly in Cincinnati, rush hour is from 7:30 to 9 a.m. and 4 to 7 p.m.

Traffic coming out of Boulder in the evening is ridiculous, especially along 36. It's not picnic going into Boulder in the morning, either.

Good point, lol. My joke is that rush hour starts at 1 in the afternoon and ends at 3 because thats when all of the part time janitors get home.
