I have been in ALL of them. I have been in Houston traffic for 16 years of my life, this **** for 4, and SA and Austin multiple times because i travel alot. I HATE it here. DFW is by far the worst.

Houston is the worst I've ever seen. We were in Austin a couple of weeks ago and while the traffic on 35 near downtown is bad, it's only bad for short distance compared to what I've seen in Houston.

I have driven through all of the cities in rush hour traffic except San Antonio. I think that Houston is the worst, but it is hard to tell since every time I run into traffic I get pissed. I can't figure it out, there can be 4 lanes of traffic completely stopped for miles and then all of the sudden the you are doing 60 again for another couple of miles and then you stop again. If there was a wreck in the middle of the road I could understand this but for no reason you seem to start and stop. WTF!!!!!

I've only been in Houston traffic once, it was pretty rough. SA's traffic gets bad because of all the construction. All about timing. Austin gets pretty congested, been stuck plenty of times. I've been in SA my whole life, and during the past year or two it's been getting worse. I live in a suburb outside the city limits, and its growing too quick.

<--fastest growing part of the SA area
410/35 or 410/10 at 5:30 FTMFL
that being said..Houston is worse, and so is DFW. SA probably has the best setup highway system but they're always ******* working on them!

yeah, I'm not far from you (Converse, 1604/35 area). I have got stuck in traffic here in SA for such stupid small accidents. Those are probably the 2nd worst. With gas prices where they are, and driving my TA daily, it does hurt. I've been cutting my driving a lot so I'll have a few extra bucks in my pocket!

Houston's traffic isn't bad once you figure out if you get a night-shift job inside the loop then you get traffic that's going the opposite of you both going to work and going home.
Win/win situation. And I like it!
Avoid 290 at all costs unless it's Saturday morning at around 2:30.

Are you kidding? Maybe if you lived there all your life. We went there last week and we got lost WITH a gps. Whats with the upper/lower ****? And how is it that a city that small has so many fucken freeways in it? 35, 37, 410, I-10, and i think I'm forgetting a couple. That freeway system is confusing.
