Yeah, it's almost like they built the interstates to go between major metropolitan areas. Spooky.
Thanks but I know that! I mean some cities seem to be more strategically located than others. I am talking long term of course, take a look at the map.
What I find interesting is that Pittsburgh's traffic volume is so low for its size, It must mean that the lack of a beltway has lead to less urban sprawl, or it could mean simply the tunnels being bottlenecks.
What's funny though, is that the Pittsburgh metro is one of the least dense large metros in the country, so it technically should have some of the highest levels of interstate traffic.
I don't think this map tell us much at all. I mean, more people = more volume....duh! I think an average speed in relation to the speed limit (75%, 100%, etc.) would be more telling.

Anybody now their cities average speed during rush hour?
Scranton/Wilkes-Barre shows up clearly in Pennsylvania.
It would be interesting to show this map as traffic per lane mile. That will make S/W-B a nice dark red color for sure!
