    Having driven in a handful of these cities, I would say that Charlotte’s is grossly inadequate at describing the sheer chaos that city is.

    My cousin lives there, and he’s a cousin I enjoy very much. It’s a running joke that I must love him a lot if I’m willing to get within fifty miles of those roads. I swear by all that’s holy, if he ever moves, I will never enter that city again.

    DC, Pittsburgh, Philly, Atlanta, Savannah, Baltimore, Cleveland, Asheville, Nashville, Knoxville, I’ve driven in all of those anything from a week to a year+, and none of them match the sheer psychotic horror that is Charlotte’s roads (and drivers).

    Any of the cities I’ve spent a day or two in are the same.

    If the graphs here are indicative of anything other than road orientation, I will never go to Boston without a tank and plenty of ammunition for it. No way would I deal with Charlotte level fuckery and a bunch of damn yankees honking in their strange language through their nose as well.

      Boston is actually way worse than Charlotte for driving as most of the roads are 1 way. In some areas if you take a single wrong turn you’ll be ejected from the city for several miles before you can turn around.

        Whoever made that happen needs to be beaten with an al dente noodle

        Well, never lived in Atlanta, so I’ll bow to your expertise. I will say that I didn’t have much trouble other than the sheer volume of traffic. But that was just a few visits here and there
