That is such bullshit. Seriously. Lived in multiple states and MA has the worst drivers. I have seen shit done in MA that you wouldn't see anywhere else. Enter oncoming traffic to make a "free left?". Only in MA. Oregon probably has the best. Annoyingly so. You'd cross over the Columbia and all of a sudden everyone is doing the speed limit!

Nice anecdotal evidence! Totally refutes actual data!

What is their metric? Fatalities? Traffic is so bad nobody goes fast enough to get hurt.

I remember when they said the MBTA was the second best in the US. Thing is a joke.

What’s your metric? “Because that’s how I feel mumble mumble!”? The fact is you’ve shown nothing but you’re own personal opinions and gripes. The fact is people typically think their own experiences carry a lot of weight and are superior to actual data. For instance, in my opinion I’d take Boston traffic any day over the Garden State Parkway or the Capital Beltway. If you really wanna see some shit, go stand on top of the Arc de Triomphe and watch those maniacs navigate that multi lane roundabout. It makes an evening on the Pike almost like waiting in line at a Dunks drive-thru.
