Siegen, Bluebonnet, Essen, Acadian, Airline or College Drive. Which one is worse?

Sure, I-10 and I-12 get a lot of attention and rightfully so but let's not forget the surface streets connecting them and what a scourge of relentless traffic they are.

Which one gives you cancer daily the most? Which one sucks the least?

College drive hands down. Literally a clusterfrick from 6 am to about 9 pm with no signs of improvement.

At least Essen has a chance to get better when they finally get done with construction

Sketchiness: College

Awful traffic regardless of wrecks: Essen and portions of Airline

Drivers most likely to run you down: Siegen

I feel like Bluebonnet and Acadian usually flow pretty good.

Essen is the original Siegen in terms of traffic. The rest all suck, too

Siegen isn't too terrible bc of so many other streets you can turn off and go around it. College and essen are hands down the worst.

They are all terrible.

But Essen and Airline get my vote for worst traffic.

Also btw has anyone noticed that the homeless panhandling on the underpass on those streets look a little too kempt and clean to me to be legitimately homeless?

Makes me think they're not really homeless and it's just a glorified scam.

Never. Essen is forever going to suck with or without construction.

I have to believe that someone, somewhere outside of our city needs to take a look at light cycles and determine how to set them and also limit the left turns in certain areas. The massive amount of lights followed by the timing of them seems to never get better no matter what decade we look at.

Right now, Essen.

The construction might help once it's finally done.

They usually have terrible clothes, but really nice shoes. Dead giveaway. And they usually hide their Trek bikes across the road. Easily make 100$ a day, probably much more. I ask them to give me all the money in their pockets and I’ll give them some “food money”. Never had one to agree to that offer yet.

None of the above.

LA-1 across the intracoastal is the absolute worst

Essen and College are two straight I avoid whenever possible. I work off Bluebonnet, and it's not bad until the afternoon.

Siegen I feel has a lot of traffic, but it moves a lot better than the others.

I think something as simple as a turning lane to get on I10 East could help Highland traffic coming from the country club.

Then there’s a street like College that can’t be saved. Permanently damaged goods.
