Whether you take I-85, I-75, I-285, or I-20, if you're going to Atlanta, Ga., you're going to be stuck in traffic. Drivers faced 57 hours of traffic in 2007, which is actually a decrease from the city where drivers had 59 hours of annual delay in 2006. Forbes states that for commuters in Atlanta, "the daily grind is just that, thanks to bad traffic, insufficient infrastructure, and drivers who resist carpools and public transportation." The "Capital of the South" is also region's worst city for traffic jams.
