Philadelphia traffic is a breeze compared to my days in Washington, DC. It used to take me less time to take Metro (the subway) to work than to drive. Capital Beltway--pure unadulterated evil. :p

Philadelphia can get bad...I-76 (the Schuylkill Expressway) is a mess, especially at US 202 in the western suburbs. I-95 in NE Philadelphia is bad now too (major construction work in both cases). If I were to drive to my job in Center City Philadelphia (20 miles away) via I-95, it would take me anywhere from 30-60 minutes.

By contrast, from my apartment next to NE DC to my job in Bethesda (12 miles)--over one hour if I used the Beltway. About 45 minutes if I took a ton of side streets.
