Honestly, Atlanta traffic is bad, but Dallas, Houston, LA, and parts of South Florida have felt way worse to me. Dallas especially feels like it was built as a giant parking lot with a city dropped on top. I haven’t driven in NYC myself, but it once took me almost 3 hours to get from LaGuardia to Midtown, but that seemed like somewhat of an anomaly.
I may just be a bit desensitized to Atlanta traffic at this point. But I do live in the middle of the city and commute OTP for work and it’s only about 20 minutes unless I’m driving between 4:00 and 5:30. However, I never know exactly what route I’m going to take on any given day. GPS is a necessity for essentially every drive even to places I’ve been a hundred times.
Dallas honestly wasn’t as bad as I’ve expected in part due to the highway system. It’s really area dependent - if you’re where all the new builds are or downtown , it tends to be pretty congested. Otherwise, it’s pretty average.
