I'd have to say Houston


I live in Houston and think Baton Rouge is worse. At least in Houston you have alternate routes. There just aren't real options in Baton Rouge. If you get off the interstate, you sit in traffic anyways.

Atlanta. We were staying in Alpharetta, about 30 minutes outside of Atlanta. We went to the aquarium in Atlanta, and in the evening it took us over 2 1/2 hours to get back to the hotel.


This is where my corporate office is located, so driving from the airport along 75, 85, & 400 sucks. It's a 30 mile drive from Alpharetta to Heartsfield-Jackson airport, and I have to leave for the airport 4 hours before my flight, most times.

LA and DC easily.


Anyone who doesn't say these two, has never seen it.

Drive the 405 on a Sunday afternoon and it's worse than BR with a major wreck during a rainy rush hour.

DC has I-66 as the only interstate from the West. Regular 2 lane interstate. BR has more lanes than DC.

My vote is for Houma. Some retard drivers down here. For a city this size, houma is probably near BR levels of horrible traffic.

A lot of Houston/Dallas mentions when the worst traffic in Texas is actually Austin.

Yes, Houston and Dallas are horrible. But much of the time you have alternate routes and they are usually predictable and manageable.

Atlanta is pretty shitty when it comes to traffic. Especially rush hour.

Panama City, Panama- can't really explain this one, half the city doesn't own a vehicle. I guess it just has bad infrastructure

I won't argue this. Though I've only seen it once. It was crazy, 2 in the afternoon and like 5 lanes both ways at a stand still for as far as I could see. We were just looking a at it from an overpass thankfully.

Honolulu, don't think there is anywhere worse in the U.S.

I know someone else posted it's ranked behind L.A. but I would contend it's even worse since there is literally only one road to take to get around most of the island.

D.C. and Houston are the worst I've actually driven in.

Philly can be hairy, but is more manageable - on par with Baton Rouge and New Orleans.

I worked in San Diego and we stayed in Rancho Bernardo and traveling I15 at rush hour was pretty bad.

I used to live in Hawaii Kai. I could get home faster from Sand Island taking the H3 up through the tunnel and going the back way through Kanehoe, then I could on the H1, straight damn shot.

I remember driving back from this chicks house one time in Honolulu, busted a couple nuts then drove home and got stuck in traffic. I said to myself "a man shouldnt be pissed off right now but frick I am ever so pissed". Shoulda just stayed the night.
