It was bad when we crossed through. Not enough room to switch to another highway. We ran in circles until we got off and went the backroads.

Doesn’t list the Orange Crush (I-5, 22 and 57)?
Color me skeptical.

Yep and they are designed that way by "social engineers" who think "designed barriers to automobile travel" will force the peons out of their cars and into mass transit.
The problem is crappy road design and a fascist "social engineering" mindset in State and Federal DOT planning departments.

The headline is misleading. This survey only considers trucking routes, so the Long Island Expressway and the Lincoln Tunnel approach and helix; and other NYC metro disaster areas weren't considered.

I see errors.
The I-10/I-19 interchange is nothing.
They don’t even list the 405/Ventura FWY interchange.
Average speed about 2 mph...LOL!

11th place? That must stink, if you are from Louisville. To think you were only one or two bad ideas away from making the Top 10...

Well they listed all of I-35 in Austin, Tx. They certainly got that right.

I can attest to that! I have driven through there many times and lived there for a year. For such a small town (compared to Chicago, etc.) It has some of the worst highway systems. It is an old sleepy river town that didn’t plan for the future. A lot of traffic goes through it but not a lot stops there so not enough tax revenue for good highways. 25 Years ago when I lived there the circle around the city was treacherous (upgraded since).

That’s because nothing actually moves there.

20 and 27
my worst
#1 - I-95 Virginia
Worst drivers in the world (You all live here, you all know there's nothing around the curve, so why in the hell on the slightest curve does everybody feel the need to slam their breaks?)
#2 - I-87 Between Albany and New York City (Sundays)
It's as rural as can be, it's flat and straight, exits are 30+ miles apart, few cops, this road should be a pleasure to drive on. So what could go wrong? ^@!^ well for starters for some reason even with an open road people still like to drive in the left lane doing 45 mph (Speed limit 65) piling everyone behind them
#3 - I-95 Connecticut
95% of the drivers are doing 10mph under the speed limit
5% are doing 25+ over

Odd thing is, it’s still faster than taking public transit! LOL!

Atlanta GA also has a Spaghetti Junction.
It can be tough too.

LMAO!! Way to get right to the point.
To: Willie Green
I see the interchange affectionately known as the “Spaghetti Bowl” in Las Vegas is 12th. Nice to know that our highway planners are seen as idiots by others as well.

I'm familiar with the bottle necks in St. Louis and don't know how there could be any worse.
Possible exception - Birmingham, Alabama, when there's a lot of road construction going on, which is every single time I drive through there.
