You can weave on your motorbike though, so it's not all bad!

Not all that safe either

You should also avoid Atlanta as well, as there are several around here.

If you want to see some of US/Canada's worst:

-Drivers
-Highways
-Congestion

Then come to Vancouver area of BC.

Vancouver traffic congestion growing worse: First of a series | Vancouver Sun

Vancouver is generally in the top 3 of worst congestion in North America in various reports over the last few years.

They are interesting. There is one of those on the M60 around Manchester, UK and joining at that junction when driving an aged Land Rover took years off my life.

I175 from St Petersburg, joining I275 South to go over the Skyway bridge. Literally a tourist trap!
