I want to wait until school gets back in, but the metairie traffic is awesome now that they opened up 2 new lanes on 10

When i used to live in St. Louis, barring an accident, traffic during rush hour moved steadily. Was able to drive 70 on the way to work, and close to that on the way home

Omaha was surprisingly lacking traffic the week I went. What's even more surprising is that Omaha has more than 400,000 people.

Pop quiz: what does Shreveport have that helps traffic that BR doesn't?

a loop?
a bridge that doesn't narrow a major cross country interstate to one fricking lane?

Half the population of San Antonio i saw were passed out drunks that dont drive, which led to less traffic.

San Antonio - rarely had any trouble that didn't involve an accident or construction.

St. Louis - I am sure white flight has helped, but traveling to and from downtown on interstates wasn't much trouble when I have been.

Colorado Springs - big city only in population I guess...but it doesn't have a big city feel at all...including traffic.

Omaha - busy freeways, but constantly moving.

Albuquerque - been several times and don't ever find much traffic.

Phoenix, it's a shame all pro teams can't be in downtown though.

I'd like to throw Tampa into this discussion. Trying to get over to St. Pete from the north side of town was always murder. God help you if you have an accident.
