    I used to live in Orlando, FL and it was bad on I-4 at peak times. And Chitown I live 90 mins from there and I plan my trips away from rush hour because it sucks being stuck in traffic.

    Any city YOU are not familiar with.
    getting around DFW isn't bad at all. Lots of alternative routes to use.
    And Atlanta isn't that bad either. Compared to many other city's Atlanta is small.
    Just don't be inside 285 if you have no business there.

    My choice is Boston, Mass or anywhere in the Northeast.
    Those cities were laid out in the 1700's and havent changed much as far a street design.
    Chicago is right up there too but because of traffic, completely stopped on 90-94 at 0300,, WTF?
    Here's a heads up about getting around Chicago at rush hours, look at your map, alot of wide 4 lane city streets can be used to get where your going, the city streets are wide open compared to the expressways. I've done this many times, you can even time the lights so you get mostly green, sure you're only moving at 45mph but it's better than the 5 mph the expressways moving, but check Randy McNalley first for low bridges!
    New York City, needless to say
    I 95 from Palm Beach to Miami during the day.

    Hoboken,NJ comes to mind. It's very tight to begin with and then they all park all the way to the end of the curb. On both sides.
    Chicago for all the low underpasses
    Philly for having some tight streets and traffic.
    Banning California for the Neo-Nazi like scale house
    Collinsville,IL for the other Neo-Nazi like scale house
    Atlanta for traffic and crime
    Dallas for the Cowboys

    Key West,FL. I was just down there. They have two lane bridges where oncoming traffic is in the next lane. The streets only provide minimal space to maneuver a big rig. Hell, I almost hit a #### pole trying to get out of the city lol!
