    I would think NYC, but heard horror stories of traffic up in Chicago., what about some advice on some of the meanest lanes you would rather not drive, and why..:walk:

    NYC, anywhere in CT, MA, NJ, Dallas/Ft. Worth, Chicago proper, Greenville, SC, Washington DC, LA Basin, Salt Lake City, Denver. I can name a hundred more, but that would require I think too much..

    WHY??? Idiot 4-wheelers who forgot common sense or never had it...

    Usually, the older cities.........

    Narrow streets, poorly designed.

    Burley, ID can be tough. Narrow corner makes it hard to make the turn down by the Dairy Queen.

    DC is tough to get around in a firetrucks, I've got to imagine it's even tougher for a semi. Quadrants, lettered and numbered streets with different cutoffs. One ways, security checkpoints that don't allow trucks. Every firehouse I worked out of always had guys coming in asking for "truck directions to...." Narrow old city streets and LOTS of traffic enforcement ready to write CVs big tickets for mistakes. Pedestrians are oblivious to everything and I saw many bad truck vs ped accidents. The trucks always won.

    What? Almost 1/2 an hour, and nobody mentioned the hell hole that is Pittsburgh, PA? Rolling rt 51 during rush hour? Attempting to get through the Liberty Tunnel in the morning? There's a reason it's called the "Parkway"!!:biggrin_2559:

    Add Hershy, PA too........man all those one way streets, tight four ways!

    P.S. I actually feel bad for drivers not from the Nashville area, trying to find a location in the city as our streets change names as you drive them. If anyone ever gets a delivery on 'Old Hickory" in Nashville, find a place to pull over and get directions, or you might end up on a wild goose chase, as we have many streets, BLVDs, and roads named Old Hickory.
