Yeah since LA county is so big their traffic is probably the worst, but it tends to be pure volume, vehicle breakdowns and accidents that cause delays. The D.C.

I was personally stuck in more traffic jams that last 3+ hours than I care to count. I've known people that have gotten stuck for 6+ hours just as many times. Also, it seems that every year the D.C. metro area has at least one 8+ hour traffic jam and a major pile up of some sort every other year.




LA county is not that big. Granted, it is larger that the Metro DC area; however the condensed area of LA county where the traffic is (city of Los Angeles, and immediate areas), I do not think to be any larger than the Metro DC area. Also keep in mind, our traffic jams can stretch from Los Angeles to San Diego.



If I'm not mistaken, I believe LA is the largest county in the nation.



i dont think so, possibly population wise but not in physical size. San Bernadino county is about 6x the size of LA county and Kern county (bakersfield) is about 4x its size.
CA counties



That's what I meant was population wise. Lotsa people, smallish area = baaaad traffic.
