Have you ever been in Pittsburgh? I cannot fathom many cities have a worse network between the myriad of bridges, triangle shaped downtown and geography.
- radiorental 8y agoI'll see your Pittsburgh and raise you a Boston.
- village-idiot 8y agoThe city whose road network was designed by a spider on LSD.
- theandrewbailey 8y agoI'll raise you Canton Avenue. All the way to the top! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canton_Avenue https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canton_Avenue
- emodendroket 8y agoDriving in Boston is a nightmare... but you don't have to do it! Even if you're out in the suburbs you can park your car and ride the train in. LA doesn't afford you that option, really.

- DoubleCribble 8y agoIn Pittsburgh, it's the topography that thwarts you. In Boston it's the other drivers.
- DoubleCribble 8y agoNo kidding! I recently visited Pittsburgh and remarked to my passenger that I'd have zero (expletive deleted) chance of getting anywhere on time without a nav. More than once, I missed turnoffs and entire roads when navigating the hills outside of downtown.

- black6 8y agoThis is one of the unspoken rules of the road I learned on a trip to Puerto Rico, only it's not only at traffic signals -- any time a vehicle is signaling a left turn common practice is to slow/stop and allow it to make the turn.
