Houston is the armpit of the USA.. (no offense.. just sucks to drive there)
LA isn't THAT bad, though it can get hairy in the rain.. the 5 and 101 suck in the morning on the west coast.
D.C isn't THAT bad, though it isn't great.
NYC isn't what I would call traffic... it is congestion. don't ask the difference.. I wouldn't know how to describe it to you, on how I feel. lol
Norfolk, VA, during rush hour at the US's largest naval facility is HELL.. took 3.5 hours to get from the base to 15 miles from the base (snow fall was unexpected) During calmer weather it isn't TOOOOO bad, but it is still stand-still for most of the trip..
Dallas is heavy traffic, but most of the HEAVY traffic is STILL moving at 90+. Wierd feeling to be bumper to bumper and still have to go 85 not to get creamed.
