For a new driver
What was worst for you.
I say now, even in heavy traffic, as long as I dont make a wrong turn I'm pretty cool and collected.
Mountains still get to me from time to time because I drive a ####ty trucc and the breaks could burn out at any minute
What is more nerve wrecking: Tight, congested streets or Steep Mountains?

Tight congested street. Gravity will get you down the mountain, just have to control the descent. Way more variables on congested city street.

Tight streets for sure. Being surrounded by 4 wheelers makes me antsy. You get used to mountains over time. I traverse I 77 from Charlotte to Cleveland & back frequently so going up and down Flat Top & Fancy Gap is a piece of cake for me now.
Also, you should probably get your brakes fixed lolHamburger71, texasbbqbest and Riffman Thank this. -
I'll take Donner over Northeast or LA streets any day. And I live in one of the worst ones.
You can figure out a mountain a lot easier than the idiot on the phone reading the paper trying to get to work in the am.j_martell, bottomdumpin, Lepton1 and 1 other person Thank this. -
Tight streets for sure. Wait till the first time you have to back into a tight dock or receiver off of a crowded tight city street, you'll beg for mountains lol.
texasbbqbest and Xzay Thank this. -
I agree with the "tight streets" answers you have already gotten. Very little left to add.
At THIS point, neither worry me any more...but as a newbie, it was tight streets and docks over mountains every time.texasbbqbest Thanks this. -
I lost my virginity on Meeting Street in Charleston SC with a load of Coffins trying to find a Funeral Home there. My first time in an 18 wheeler was after missing a turn and getting into serious trouble. After all of this a steep grade becomes childs play.
Lepton1 Thanks this. -
I'll take any mountain any day over tight city streets.
Recently spent time doing local work (with a sleeper) in Philly and I loved playing the Will I fit game...bobtrucks2204, texasbbqbest, j_martell and 2 others Thank this. -

Tight city streets are way more stressful. Mountains pretty simple really.
