I'm just trying to point out that the experience isn't so different. Like, cities are universally shit. But I hung in there, destroying my hearing the whole time, and loving it - because if I gotta be in shit traffic, at least it's in a Jeep with the top off irritating the people next to me with my exhaust and music."My overcrowded Tech hub city can beat up your overcrowded Tech hub city....
The one that gets me is how many people will be on the road at like 10AM on a weekday. Like, fuck, shouldn't you be at work and shit?
I'm actually going to say Dallas is worse. When I went to our Richardson office the traffic volume was similar, but the thing that made it extra shitty was the complete and utter lack of any road markings whatsoever. Like, who the fuck thought it was a good idea to turn GenPop loose with only reflectors on the fuckin interstate?Traffic in both places sucks....
Fuckin right?
20 years ago when we moved to NC everyone was like "youre gonna hate the traffic"
worse than DFW, RTP and Charlotte/Kannapolis all at once. I refuse to drive in DC.... I just park at the hotel and take the train the rest of the way.
Until you got used to it and then you hated it, because that's the universal equalizer - acclimatization.
Your peak is definitely higher. I don't have a peak. Its the same from about 3 minutes out of my driveway, till 1 minute before i pull into the parking lot at work. And yes, Buccees definitely makes it worse.Ours varies since I40 and I85 merge and that takes a bunch of traffic off. Highest peak for me is right by Morrisville ("HQ" of RTP, where my main office is/was) at 164k:
But that drops into the low 100k range by the time I get into Orange Co. (Though, now that TX has given us a Buccees, I expect worse).
