    Ditto Max. I10 is a great freeway. 290 is the worst freeway of all time. OF ALL TIME.

    Seems pretty obvious that most are talking about rush hour.

    I remember back in 98, some magazine ranked the 610/59 intersection at the galleria as the second worst in the nation behind some intersection in LA.

    290 is just stupid, but I think since the katy fwy expansion, a lot of those commuters are learning to just go out the katy and go up north on hwy6 or barker. if I lived off 290 that's what I would do.

    Well, I guess the question was "during rush hour" initially... :grin:

    610 West Loop northbound and southbound and that one piece of 59 I mentioned seems to be full no matter which way or time of day. :(

    Compared to pretty much any other big city, Houston traffic flys.

    I believe they are also going to make the Hempstead Tollway as well, or so I heard.
