Chicago traffic #1 in USA, #3 globally

[Animl-AW]

Chicago, the Midwest’s largest metro, claimed the unfortunate title of 2025’s most traffic-congested city in the U.S. In fact, traffic was so severe that the Windy City also ranked third worst globally, according to INRIX data.

My former daily commute. Can’t imagine why I was always on edge on work days. Not to mention you can get shot in it. Trust me, it’s bat crap crazy

Nashville is 12th or 13th, depending on who you ask. It takes an hour to get to Nashville, no matter where you are in Nashville.

It does not matter how many roads or lanes they add, 70% of the population is too utterly stupid to walk on their own, never mind operate a motor vehicle.

Even though DFW has rapidly grown to over 8 million now the roads have gotten better over the last 20 years.

Live in small towns.

I live 34 miles from my former work location. Its like a light switch how traffic changes crossing IN border. But they bring it here to shop because so close. <vomits>

Lived my life in small towns, lived closer to Chitcago in northern suburbia (“Region Rats”) for commute.

Shopping to move south back to small towns. Never wanna see that crap again.

AKIron, I would disagree with that. While I would agree with it is not as bad as it could be, I still think it has gotten worse. When I look at TxDOT work over the last 30 years in the DFW Metroplex, I see a lot of CalDOT "good ideas" messing things up. It is even hitting a lot of the local Neighborhood streets now like the one lane Circle intersections! Talk about stupid applications. Every Engineer using those in local areas should be fired.

TxDOT then got the "smart" idea to take Road Tax money to build highways, then turn them into Toll Roads. That got stopped when the public started screaming to the legislature. I think they hired to many CalDOT engineers.

I grew up in Dallas, mostly. Then moved to Allen in '95 after retiring from the Air Force. Lived there until 2008. Drove into and around Dallas every work day during those years. The traffic was bad. Worse than in NYC where I flew to and back from weekly for about a year. We moved back to Texas (Texoma area) in 2023 and though I work only part time from home now the times I have driven into Plano and Dallas the drives were less congested than I remember. Maybe I got lucky.

Well I will agree with one thing, even now they are YEARS ahead of the Oklahoma Highways.

Oh, here we go

SCOTUS says Nope

No traffic in my neck of the woods and Orlando aint too bad if you take the HOV lanes. They are building roads and bridges like.crazy here and I imagine the bottle neck near Disney and north near Sanford will get worked out. Nice to see they expanding. Ill never understand why people want more population infestation. That equals more cars, more trash, and more pollution, more haggle, and more stress every where you drive. The key is to drive the opposite of everyone else

Roads are always 10 years behind...

Interstate travel is usually horrible at best then throw in little Richard trying to show how cool he is driving twice the limit while zig zapping in and out...no wonder road rage is at a peak

The morons go immediately to jail now around here when they catch them going that fast..

Keep dreaming.  You must be new here (central FL).

We have the Disney bottleneck everytime we visit my youngest and his family...

It isn't getter better they just keep it in constant construction to make you think one day it will be better...

The 417 gets you around the mess if you are going by Orlando to the east coast but you get all the traffic when you go to any of the parks..

Too bad you missed this fantastic place Violator:

Bodhi worked there when the family got a ride in a Texan for me once..he gave my son a cannon shell to a P38 they were restoring at the time..workshop was very cool..

This happened about a year after my flight..the instructor was the same guy that took me up:

May 2005 Crash: A different vintage warbird, an SNJ-6 Texan, crashed near Kissimmee, killing pilot Jonathon Hedgecock from Warbird Adventures and another person, Jim Kern.
