Chicago traffic reminds me of LA. It's sprawling, long distances, that crawls bumper to bumper. The SF Bay area's traffic was crawling at all hours of the day and night, but it's shorter distances with many exits. NYC traffic is crazy, but there are plenty of alternatives. I think all metro traffic situations are relative, because no one likes any amount of traffic.
