Worst Corridors: Urban Mobility Scorecard Annual Report

[GraciesDaddy]

Someone posted the link to this site on my FaceBook:

Worst Corridors - INRIX

From what I gather, it seems quite accurate in relation to the cities in which I've lived (Dallas, Orlando) and those I travel through/around often enough to be familiar with them (Birmingham, Atlanta, New Orleans) to recognize the bottlenecks.

Hope this helps in your trip planning!

Well not to split hairs but they did not include what would be the entire junction starting back on I-4 a couple of miles all the way through the actual merge believe me you can come to a screeching halt on I-4 long before I-275. Whatever it is a pain in the b*** all the time.

An interesting chart. My personal (un)favorite is Atlanta. It really isn't Atlanta's fault. There's no physical barrier to the city like a mountain, river or an ocean, so it just keeps growing in every direction. But their "right lane exit only" design is more than I can stand. Nobody will let you over if you're driving a MH and pulling a toad. Can't say that I blame them. If you're driving a car, you can't see around, through or over us.
My home town, Cincinnati, OH is no bargain either. Many people here either work in Cincinnati and live in Northern Kentucky or vice versa. And we deal with I-71, I-75 and I-471 all funneling onto two bridges over the Ohio River. And the I-71/I-75 double decker bridge is falling apart. Large chunks of concrete fall into the river regularly.

Just GO. If you worry about everything you'll never get there! 🙂

LA 5 of the top 10. No surprise there.

In spite of $14.5B spent on the Big Dig in Boston, I93 NB is number 28.

Point, GMandJM... But, if you select United States it'll give you the "nightmare" scenarios in the U.S.

Granted, this doesn't cover EVERY intersection/lane change/merge. But it is a good starting point. I'm quite surprised they didn't include anything on U.S. 280, the "Mixmaster" (I's 20 & 65) and even parts of Valley Road.

Live 'n' loin. 🙂

Most of the Birmingham entries are Birmingham, England. Only one is Alabama.
(But I still dislike driving there.)
