This guy knows what he is talking about. Thankfully, I no longer drive to work. GO GO METRO SYSTEM!

I shall say Chicago. However this is a biased opinion since I live near Chicago.
It takes me an hour to go less than 20 miles in the suburbs, during optimal conditions, without ever going less than 5 miles outside of city limits.
IN the city, 20 miles can take a multitude of hours.

It's a fact the winner is Los Angeles. Why bother voting?

 

[mitmot]

The southeast 'expressway' is a guaranteed bumper to bumper parking lot during rush hour in Boston... that's a stretch of 9 miles and then some.

:thumbsup:

I'm from Ohio, and Atlanta was the WORST I've ever driven in.

If you've never lived in or around LA, you have NO idea what traffic really is.

Yes, you may get heavy congestion during rush hour, but out here we get it ALL the time (e.g. Sunday at 9am) - and everything is hours away from anything else. Damn suburban sprawl.

I can't comment on anything but Atlanta as that's the only city I lived in with absolutely horrible traffic.

It was 16 miles from home to work and it took an hour and a half. I now live 17 miles from work (in MI) and it only takes me 20 minutes.

 

Manilla

 

[oddyager]

In my experience, LA easily, followed by DC, and Manhattan, NY.

 

[halik]

NYC... mosly because people from NY and NJ can't drive worth of crap...

hehe... this is why i live close to my work so the drive isn't that bad... too bad alexandria apartments suck... for what i pay for in rent... i could be paying a morgage for a 400K house in ohio.

it only sucks if i need to go out to vienna or tysons or go to bmore.

 

[Stuxnet]

Boston hands down. I've never witnessed such a free-for-all in my life... and that includes the LA riots.

Been to Atlanta, Chicago, LA, SF, etc., and Boston is in a league of its own.
