Worst city to drive in the northeast US?

is washington dc really northeast?

boston is bad if you don't live here. i have driven in new york with no problems. way easier than boston. with boston none of the street make sense, and they're all one way, never in the way you want to go though.

DC isn't particularly northeast, but it's part of the BosNYWash corridor, so I included it. Baltimore is too, but no one is gonna vote for that anyway.

It's not southeast.

i guess washington is not technically in the northeast but it gets lumped in with the big east coast cities. Shocking that someone nitpicks a minor issue in a thread.

New York is probably the most uncomfortible to drive in with all the crazy cabbies and the bridge and tunnel traffic into the city.

DC is easily the worst.

I think NYC is the worst in the according-to-Hoyle Northeast. I used to have to drive a lot on the BQE when Scrubette lived in Park Slope, though, so I might have an unfairly weighted sample.

Boston isn't terrible, but it can be pretty confusing when you don't know where you're going.

I've never had a problem in Philly.

Out of that list, by far. High tourist driving ratio, terrible potholes anywhere but select neighborhoods in NE, retarded roundabouts everywhere, excessively many intersections from the diagonal state-named streets.

can I vote for all of them?

I love DC, but it is terrible for the majority because of Virginia drivers and tourists. In that order.
