    I actually didn't mind Jersey except when the pope was coming from DC to Philly. I have never seen that much traffic. Drove me nuts.

    Another Honorable Mention: Miami, FL (I hate that about as much as NYC during traffic hours). Orlando is Little Crashville during traffic

    Chicago is fine if you're just pasing through at night or delivering in the suburbs. It's when you have to get to a shipper or receiver in the heart of the city that it becomes hell.

    Orlando for being such a small city always seems to have to traffic jams. I don't like going there.

    1. NYC( drag racing 4-wheelers/instane exit entrance transition ramps)
    2. LA (can get you killed period/most dangerous)
    3. ATL (construction will never end, dangerous, unlit badly, "let's stall traffic at the bottom of a hill after we smoothly go over a couple when traffic first let up :)")
    4. Dallas Ft. Worth( see NYC)
    5. NJ( again reference NYC)
    Honorable mentions to Birmingham, al

    In defense of Chicago, our interstate is newly built and dam well lit. Thank you. oh and

    Now I do like how 30 in Texas has the setup to merge on and off on my way to Dallas.

    How is that I-90 construction between 294 and Elgin coming along? The stretch between Elgin and Rockford was very nicely done.
