Only in Seattle... (Score 1)

I used to live in Seattle. The OTHER reason that traffic is "so bad" there (besides the one mentioned by the poster -- crappy mass transit), is the there are only FOUR ROADS! Count -em, 4! What the hell good is a freakin' traffic meter gonna do me if there's no alternate routes to take? And believe me, if 520 is backed up, so is 90. If 5 is backed up, well you have to go WAY out of your way to get to 405.
How on earth those people up in Seattle think they're going to solve any traffic issues without good public transportation is beyond me. That's why I moved to Portland...
