Daddy's Home by Tony Rubino and Gary Markstein for April 28, 2012

Duh!

Where was the worst traffic you’ve ever seen?

no kiddin’

The occasional 100 km “juti” (traffic jam) in Japan. The Tokyo metro area has 35 million people, and they all seemed to be on the same street with me whenever I drove.

I-45 the Gulf Freeway in South Houston. Drivers will rubber-neck watching a guy changing a flat on the other side of the highway. Any excuse at all to slow things down to a crawl.

Asphalt tanker overturned on the DC beltway. Four lanes of people trying to drive through 6 inches of hot asphalt. That was a looooooonnnnnnggg drive that day.

The Baltimore Harbor Tunnel during evening rush hour. It can take a half an hour to go two miles. Mornings are clear sailing, but evenings…yeesh!

I-10 i sacremento,ca…between 2pm and 9pm.

..do the math..

Worst I ever saw was in the Boston Tunnel, during rush hour, bumper to bumper and an ambulance was trying to get through! 2nd would be the Richmond-Petersburg I-95 corridor any day of the week, esp. in summer.

I-45 north during the evacuation for Hurricane Rita. It took ten hours to go ten miles. We made it from Pearland (south of Houston) to Fort Worth in 30 hours—normally it takes about four.

I-15 in Utah not only long but have to contend with the worest and rudest drivers in the world

Any road here in in Atlanta mornings and afternoons epecially The Gary Curve andand the gaint cloverleaf intersection near the Gwinett/Dekab county line knownas “Spagetti Junction” [Echoes “Spagetti Junction”]. Yes, it’s so big you need an echo.

Worst traffic I had was when I worked in Chicago and had to take El trains every day- nothing worse. After I started draving it was not all that bad!

I’ve never visited NYC (guess I’m glad!)

Rome was the craziest. Phuket, Thailand, the most death defying.
