    I drive "Indy Traffic" and would take it any day over NWI and Chicago traffic. Also, the only bad part is really NE side up near 465/69, and sometimes 65/70 split. Luckily, the west side of 465 is wide open 95% of the time.

    Despite the terrible driving, it's the potholes every 5 feet that I really dislike.

    I was on 465 on the northeast side. I live 25 miles from work and make it in 30-35 minutes. About 3-4 miles of that is Lafayette or 45mph zone. It'd take that long or longer to go 10 miles in Indy.

    Again, depends where you are. NE side SUCKS!

    I live 15 miles from work, and it takes me 20 minutes at 7 am and 5 pm. 80% of the trip is on 465 driving with traffic at 65.

    67 (sw side) to park 100 (nw side).

    I can't stand driving Lafayette everyday and I mostly take back roads there. It never fails leaving town getting behind someone who thinks because they're turning in the next 5 miles, they don't need to get up to the speed limit.

    I normally drive 5 mph hour over everywhere but I rarely pass. If someone is at least driving the speed limit, I'll back off a good ways and set my cruise to match. But the jerks that like to throw their boat anchors out and hold up traffic **** me off to no end.

    Stop following me around Lafayette!:laugh:

    Oh, I hope my leaving the turn signal on (in the wrong direction) for the last 3 miles did not bother you.

    Then you do not need to drive around down here with us........:D

    Spend a lot of time in behind the wheel in Indy and surrounding county's. Every area has it's own kind of madness. I dislike Laff. area as well. In Indy I can flow right through with only 2 or 4 attempts on my life in a given day.

    I live in NWI and we don't really have any traffic here. There alot of people that shouldn't be driving but the roads are not over crowded at all.

    Traffic in Chicago area is worse but still not anything compared to what I use to deal with in NY.

    Really? I used to live near 30 and 41, and there is more traffic any time of day than I have to deal with in Indianapolis.

    Shoot, I leave Indy at 5ish pm (east), get to the 30 exit from 65 at 6:30pm (central), and have to deal with congestion the whole time I'm on 30. My parents still live in NWI.

    I am right in that area, I am not saying there is no congestion but compared what I am use to back east this is nothing. Alot of drivers that don't know what the hell they are doing make it worse but the congestion is not that bad.

    When I lived in Long Island all the major roads would be giant parking lots during rush hour. If you think the traffic is bad around here you would probally have a nervous breakdown sitting in rush hour out there.
