The expert on the news this morning said that things working against Miami are bad public transportation, large mix of cultures, and the heat. Apparently, Miami has a lot of people who grew up in cultures where Stop signs are treated like "Yield" and there is no speed limit.

i'm not sure how the heat contributes to the bad traffic around here. Bad public transportation for sure, mix of cultures, yeah maybe. Worst ones i encounter are cellphone users swinging all over 3 lanes and old people blocking everyone.
it truly is an exercise to make it to work everyday alive and well.

The survey isn't "Worst Traffic." It's "Worst Road Rage."

I've only gotten fed up a few times living in LA, but I'm laid back and can usually take the traffic if I've got some good music. Sometimes you just want to kill everyone though.

Why the fuck does Seattle always get grouped in with Tacoma. That shit pisses me off.
Bammer is skewing the otherwise well-mannered Seattle results.

With the exception of a few patches here and there, Interstate 95 from Boston to Washington, DC has the ability to give anyone road rage, no matter how laid back they are.
I just love driving back into Connecticut and being welcomed by signs that say 30 mile delay. We even have traffic here on Sundays.

I think the reason there's so many large cemeteries lining it is people's entire lives have passed on that road, funerals held, and children take over driving without worry about needing to move their car.
