Even without the strikes traffic in and around Paris is horrible.

Paris is awful. The traffic in Moscow and San Juan are the worst I’ve ever experienced by far.

I am not in Paris or any of the other cities... Don't care about their traffic. I am in Nova, this traffic is horrible.

It’s all perspective. Use to live in NoVa and still come up often so I know what it’s like. Spend time as snowbirds in Florida and they complain so much about the traffic due to us @#$$ snowbirds. I laugh to myself.

That picture of Paris is missing the Evil Knievel motorcyclists who drive 1 inch from your vehicle and sometimes two or three bikes wide going 50-60 mph and box trucks driving like maniacs. My wife and I drove from Paris to the countryside and back a few times through rush hour. Don’t do it.

310 miles? It says total of 310. So there wasn't a 310 mile backup. Paris isn't THAT big. How would DC traffic be measured? The Beltway is 64 miles for starters (with, I think, 14 miles in NoVa).

Paris is a beautiful historic city, though. There’s a good reason for traffic in such a beautiful landmark city. Plus, its beauty makes sitting in traffic much more bearable. NOVA is an overdeveloped and overpopulated suburb that is not meant to handle the amount of people we are building for, which is why it’s starting to look like a dive. If NOVA looked like Paris, the traffic would be a lot easier to handle.

I was gonna say what Kendra said. At least it's Paris and you see some interesting architecture that's world reknown. NOVA traffic is seeing a bunch of "RESIST" bumper stickers while driving by some woods, random houses, office buildings, and strip malls.
