I-95 coming into or going out of NYC is one that always comes to mind for me.

Interstate 70 going west out of Denver.

Highest traffic in the country.

Any of the interstate highways in the Los Angeles area... hands down.

I-10 through Houston is quite lousy with traffic as well.

Welcome to my slice of hell. The busiest highway in North America.

Yep, the 405 = parking lot. Also, heading into LA starting around Anaheim is no walk thru the park.
I-75 has it's problems around Dayton, Cincinnati, and (of course) Atlanta. Especially during holiday traffic.

I thought Atlanta was bad until I drove around DC.  Who ever designed on and off ramps on both sides of the interstate is probably in charge of interrogations at Guantanamo.

Not sure if it's the same, but back around '98 I flew with a friend into Denver. His brother picked us up at the airport and we we to Wyoming. The road was six lanes going 80-90 mph and bumper to bumper. Every once in a while you would pass a car with someone doing 60-70 and a terrified expression on their face.

I hate having to go up there for things. That is one part of my former job I do not miss since our corporate headquarters were in Rosslyn.

That would be me in that situation. I'm one of those that sets my cruise control to the speed limit or just a little bit lower and says eff everyone else. Don't like it? Go around.

I had to drive through Manhattan for college and DC is worse than NYC.

In all my years of driving, Cincinnati and the surrounding area is nothing compared to other parts of the country. I have never been in traffic where I'm stopped for longer than 15 minutes and I used to drive for a courier company around the turn of the century. In Cincinnati, the traffic always moves at least, although slowly, but it still moves.

I used to drive for a company who own several local muffler and break shops ranging from Florence Kentucky up to Middletown Ohio as well back in the 80's and 90's. Traffic was really never a problem although it's been quite some time since I've been out and about at different times of the day, so maybe things have changed.

Looked like traffic was free flowing to me.  Is impressive feat of engineering and public spending, though.

75 thru Dayton has been under major construction since I was born. Literally since I was born. It still is, and it hasn't improved even a little.

All of them around Dallas.

Went to Cleveland in 2014 before Cincinnati and driving through Toledo on I 80 is awful. You are the only car on the interstate and everyone else is a trucker. I 70 in Denver wasn't that bad in my opinion.

I-95 from Fredericksburg, VA to New England and most of I-5 in California are the worst, hands down!

Only in California you have to call it "The 5." Every highway has to have "the" preceding it out there. State law.

What I hate about DC, and this is not so much the interstates as the regular streets, are the ones where they are one way, but they are one way going different directions depending on the time of day.

That and when the motorcade is out. Experiencing the beltway when the motorcade is on it is the absolute worst.
