On fridays, especially in the summer, I95 is a parking lot from Boston, MA to Richmond, VA.
Believe me, I have driven it and it sucks.
It seems like the city residents are all heading out of town every Friday.

Glad to see the Surekill Expressway made the list.

“This list is invalid.”

“Not even ONE mention of what has been called ‘the worst traffic in America’...Seattle. I-5, I-405, both are utter nightmares.”

Luckily, one can always avoid heavy Seattle area traffic - just take the by-pass!

I'm so proud that Pittburgh's I-376 clocked in at number 10. I really thought we were worse than that.

True story. My wife has booked a flight in and my sister a flight out on Christmas Day 2013 so I could do a single airport run. Who would think PennDOT would work Christmas Day? Well, they had one lane closed on the Squirrel Hill Tunnel. We couldn't tell that they were doing a damn thing . . . just had one of the inbound lanes closed and were stacking up traffic like morning rush hour just for pure spite.

Sis barely made her flight.

I-76 (Schuykill expressway) through Philadelphia gets my
vote...locally it is known as the 'Sure-kill' expressway.
Pretty much all of the roads in the Northeast suck because
of all the salt they use during the winter.

It’s not an Interstate but...Route 128, the highway that is a semi-circle around Boston...is a a parking lot from 8am to 10am and 3pm to 6pm on weekdays. It takes 1 hour to go 3 miles.

The man with the last name of “Chugabrew” is telling me to drink responsibly.

Kinda like Miley Cyrus telling girls to save themselves for their wedding night.

Got it.

Cross Bronx Expressway. The worst. Backed up 24/7 and road conditions like a Zimbabwe roller coaster

It’s been five years, but we made a couple of trips from SoCal up to Sacramento via I-5....it was so “washboard” that you felt like you had to pee every fifteen minutes.

Didn’t you hear, all the billions of highway funds have been diverted to local and state welfare programs. Now we need to borrow again, but this time it will be trillions and yes, it will all be diverted again.

In case you were unaware, the “drink responsibly” command is not one of my invention. The concoction wherein I recently employed it, however . . .

I-35 from Dallas to San Antonio

When I moved to Texas in 1984, they were working on I-35 in Hillsboro, they are still working on I-35 in Hillsboro.

Too bad those funds couldn’t have been used to buy shovels for those welfare recipients...

I-95 through Providence does suck bad.

Yeah...but at least you get to look forward to passing by the Big Blue Bug.
