I also just read Portland has the 8th worst traffic in the US and the 14th worst in the world. 14th worst traffic in the *WORLD* --- certainly that isn't helping to tame driver aggression here.
An annual study of traffic flow worldwide ranked Portland as the 8th worst city in the U.S. for congestion on arterial roads and highways.
The TomTom Traffic Index tracked time delays for drivers, peak traffic hours and congestion levels in 53 metropolitan areas with populations over 800,000.
The research found that Portland drivers were most likely to get caught in backups during the morning commute on Thursdays and Fridays.
It also found that the worst nights for evening rush hour gridlock were Mondays and Thursdays.
Los Angeles was ranked as the most congested city in the U.S. Seattle was 4th worst in the U.S. and 7th in the world. Portland was ranked as 13th worst in the world and Rio DeJaneiro was number 1.
How did this turn into a meme about annoying traffic?
Dude is talking about dead people here.
