Top 6 U.S. Cities With the Worst Traffic

The list of the worst traffic cities are based on our real world road tour drives across America. This is not scientific. We're going on what we see and our gut. If your city is not in this top 6, consider yourself lucky.

We will update it periodically based on what traffic hell comes our way.

New York Skyline

#1 New York City, NY

The epitome of a nightmare from hell. Good luck trying to get out of Manhattan at a decent time, you might as well stay another night.

Washington Monument View

#2 Washington, DC

Feels like a maze of a mess. From Tysons Corner to Annapolis, make sure you pack your patience, you're going to need it.

#3 Dallas, TX

If you live in the suburbs and work in either Dallas or Fort Worth, good luck making it home in time for dinner.

Sunset Cityscape View

#4 Los Angeles, CA

Pure frustration at it's highest. You feel like you are wasting your life away looking at palm trees or brown hills.

#5 Houston, TX

A mega city with mega traffic. You feel like it couldn't get any worse as this city with massive freeways are stretched to the max.

#6 Atlanta, GA

A claustrophobic feeling and nowhere to go. Even the back roads are filled with traffic. You can't escape it.
