Gridlock: Worst traffic in America

NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- If you've been finding yourself stuck in traffic lately, it's no wonder; about 52 percent of urban-area interstate roads now qualify as "congested."
"Gridlock is not going away," said David Hartgen, lead author of the study, "States are going to have to prioritize and direct their transportation money to projects specifically designed to reduce congestion if we are going to reverse this troubling trend."
New Yorkers are top transit users
The study reported that road conditions have deteriorated, adding to congestion. It estimated that nearly 6 percent of urban interstate were in poor condition in 2005, an increase of 16.3 percent from 2004.
Hawaii had the worst urban roads with 28.0 percent in poor condition, followed by Alabama with 18.2 percent. Ten states, including Georgia and Arizona, had no urban roads in poor condition.
It will come as no surprise to any visitor to Los Angeles lately that California has the worst urban-interstate congestion in the nation; the report deemed 83.3 percent of the roads in the Golden State as congested. Other gridlock centers were Minnesota (77.8 percent), New Jersey (73.4 percent) and North Carolina (72.5 percent).
Montana, where low volume and very liberal speed-limits result in high average driving speeds, had the most dangerous roads. For every 100 million miles driven, 2.256 people died. South Dakota had 2.215 fatalities per 100 million.
Massachusetts had the lowest fatality rate at 0.797 fatalities, followed by Connecticut at 0.865
According to an annual report from the Los Angeles-based Reason Foundation, a libertarian policy research group, road congestion is on the rise nationwide.

Tommy, you act like people in Cali don't know this. I'm surprised by Minnesota. They are expanding every single freeway in the Twin Cities, so its real bad right now, but it's NOTHING like LA/OC/IE traffic. LA in the worst, but OC and IE are horrible as well.

You trippin. LA has bad traffic but OC is nowhere near that. I fly by on the 405 in the OC / Long Beach area but once I get near Culver it gets real shitty.
