The 10 Most Drivable Cities 1. Corpus Christi, TX 2. Brownsville-Harlingen-San Benito, TX 3. Beaumont-Port Arthur, TX These south Texas cities share several characteristics that make them great for motorists. All three cities have very low gas prices and a good driving climate with little snow and hail, and few days below freezing. Drivers in Corpus Christi spend only 6 hours per year stuck in traffic, compared with the national average of 62 hours per year. Corpus Christi also has the lowest travel time index (an indication of free-flowing traffic) of any city in the study. In Brownsville drivers spend only 5 hours annually in congested traffic, and only 5% of the freeways are congested during peak periods. Like Corpus Christi and the Brownsville area, Beaumont-Port Arthur has little congestion. It can get hot in these cities though, and they have slightly more wind and ultraviolet radiation than average. Also, Texas' urban roads are rougher than average. source : http://houseandhome.msn.com/move/mostdrivablecities2003.aspx **** sorry, but ive driven in these towns, nothing especially grand about driving in any of them.. surprising enough though, Houston was NOT in the top 10 worse cities to drive in either, which I can NOT believe...
Houston is actually pretty drivable at most times. Only during the peak morning and afternoon times will you find major jams. Now on the other hand, I've been through LA in the middle of the night (1am - 3amish) and there were traffic jams at that time and they weren't construction related. LA drivers are bad!!!
You know, I've been looking for that bloodninja thread so I can try it out. I am so glad you found it.
It's more fun in California, where you can drive around the mountains and stuff. Kind of boring down here, and has anyone noticed how many cops there are in Houston!!!
No congestion in CC. No such thing as 5 o clock traffic. It's actually pretty incredible, when compared to austin traffic.
