WTF?

I think H-Town is worse off than the Big D.... Dallas traffic at least f'king flows.... for the most part that is.



So you're in a sub ghetto of Dallas..... yeah, for some odd reason that has Oak Cliff written all over it.

Austin ought to be on the list.
I'm coughing and feeling a little congested myself.

When is the last time you drove through Dallas? Driving the outskirts isn't so bad, but inner city is fucking hell! :panic:

Of course, I come from a small city too. I had to relearn how to drive when I lived in DFW. :lol:

Ummm.
from 2000 to 2003 I made typically weeky trips up thru dallas. I rolled thru that bitch swangin' and bangin' and no body gave me no grief. Maybe it's just the parts you hit? I dunno....

Hard to say... they're always working on something but never really finishing anything.

Inner city where 35 & 30 meet....635...and Loop 12 is hell too, especially around 5pm. But this was in the late 90's. I left not long after they finished with the Tollway so that may have diverted traffic better. :idk:

When I rode through there a couple of years ago at 10pm on the bike....down I-20, up 360, then onto 185, it was alot busier than what I'm accustomed to. The cars wouldn't let me get my comfort space between them and made me a little nervous :panic:

You have to be very confident in your brakes and reaction time... that's what you've gotta be :whistle:

And that's about right when it comes to construction around Austin. They really didn't plan that well.... lol

I learned that when I lived there. But driving through on the bike was different. Lot more fuckers that don't see you.

I did fine in Austin...but Austin isn't as busy as I remember Dallas being either. :idk:

When I am God-Emperor of the Universe, all road crews will work together.
That's right... THOUSANDS of men in safety vests all working on single sections of road, working 24/7 (in shifts, obviously) to finish in days or weeks what it takes the current slack-ass workforce months or years to complete.

It will be the Highway Blitzkrieg!

Interesting. Some stuff kind of suprised me. I figured Atlanta be around 8 instead of 12. But honestly inside the perimeter of Atlanta traffic flows well. It's the outside perimeter that it gets all fucked up.
I figured DC would be were it is at but maybe closer to 3. From my days in their (Mid90s) you had one road in and one road out of that bitch.

Per Capita my town sucks worse than any city in America. You can't budge on Sunday.

At least I get to split between the cars in LA....I'll agree that LA is number 1. Fucking freeways are always packed except at 1-5am....but not on the 101 through downtown LA. Shit is blocked at 2am everytime I've been on it.

I've seen Austin and I live in Seattle. You guys in Austin got NOTHING on us. It's insane around here. And with water on one - and sometimes 2 - sides, there are NO options!! One way north, one way south. it blows.

and we've got the MOST retarded road crews - even new road is smooth and without potholes.

#9 on the list. Bullshit. it blows chunks!

Austin gives everywhere a run for the money based solely on the stupidity and belligerence of the drivers here.
Our road structure, while not really sufficient, could be made to work a lot better if people would just learn to drive in a civil, decisive, expedient manner.
And yes... those three can actually exist together.

I have no desire to live in ANY of them. Charlotte, NC is bad enough. It may be small potatoes to the ones listed as far as size but again...bad enough for me. I've driven in a few of the larger cities and can hang with the drivers BUT choose not to....f*ck that.

I do well enough here not to get charged with road rage as it is. :lol:

I grew up in LA and the traffic never bothered me. I moved away from Seattle because of the traffic. So yeah, 9 on that list is BS.
