HOUSTON TRAFFIC SUCKS!

 

Awww..come down here in SoCal and try our 101 and 405 freeways You're gonna love them (if you love traffic, that is. lol).

 

lol yea basically all of our freeways get like that... we have i10, 45, 59, 290, 610 loop, beltway8(toll) and westpark toll...

whats cool tho is when i take i10 and where it intersects bwy8 the ramps look sweet... i wanna get a pic of it
when there is traffic its crazy

this is before the reconstruction of it...

and this is during

 

SoCal 405 traffic is the worst.

 

yup, 405 is THE worst. In fact, LA Traffic is the worst/most congested in the NATION i believe. So I say this in a friendly way, but quit your complaining;-)

 

can you survive.. the 405??

yea.. traffic so infamous it got a small snippet in the movie Be Cool..

"2AM.. and there's traffic on the 405"...

 

ever tried driving in Manhattan during rush hr or any hr for that matter?

trying to avoid all the potholes and all the those "cabbies" that are willing to play bumper cars with your vehicle....NOTTT fun...





so yeah come down to NY and get ready to get knocked out....I've seen some dumb ____ in these streets!

 

actually... i have done that.

i still think the 405 during their "rush hour" is much worse..

 

just dont drive during rush hour period and u're good

 

if that's the case then i feel bad for you guys!

 

yea.. well.. it's also a city traffic scene vs the extreme highway stop and go.. omfg.. i'm i ever gonna escape this mess scene.



and fyi mong... "rush hour".. isn't really an hour long..

 

Yeah i've been to nyc myself, while the drivers DRIVE differently than those in LA, I think LA Traffic is by far worse.

 

ugh took me anohter hr to get to work in the morning...

 

LOL try taking 5 freeways to get to work everyday! I get to take all the fun ones here in So Cal--> 10 to the 710 to the 91 to the 110 (small) to the 405! Whooooooo

Haha one day it took almost 3 hours to get home (27 miles)

And SquallLHeart is right-- Rush "hour" is not just an hour long =/

 

I feel you on the crap traffic in Houston. I bought my tC (manual) right before I moved to Houston last June, and lived up 290 right outside of the beltway. 20 miles: hour and half drive to and from work. My left leg almost fell off. Now I work and live inside the loop: much better. But now, with many of the side street lights out or blinking red, I have the same problem. Yesterday, 5 mile drive from work to apartment: hour and 15 minutes.

 

omg i feel yea^^ i work inside the loop... and live out in katy... i10 is one of the worst.. 290 right there with it.

esp now since alot of the signal lights are out after the hurricane UGH!!! seems like everything has haulted!

 

Yeah I stayed out in Katy with some friends during the storm. We lucked out and didn't lose power but just dealing with everyone coming out to Katy because it was one of the few places with gas, was nuts.

 

manhattan whooo love that traffic...and the people

 

I am SOOOOO glad I only live 7 miles from work and I don't have to travel on any major highway anymore!

 

Amen to that, brother! I only drive 5 miles each way. When the weather is nice I ride my scooter.
