IS A JOKE! Thanks to the city leaders for turning the Huntsville/Madison area into just another $hithole city with WAY too many people and too much traffic for the road system. They have authorized enough damn apartment complexes to house half of Haiti. Way to go jerkwads - great job RUINING what was once a beautiful area. Bastages.

It’s not that bad. I remember when they said 565 was too big. Drive Atlanta. Dallas. Los Angeles. Chicago. Do those four and Huntsville is chicken feed.

Chattanooga has entered the chat lol

He's right.

Huntsville traffic is easy compared to even Birmingham.

I remember one hospital I worked in LA area I had an 10 mile commute, 1 1/2hrs every morning. Going in at night wasn’t as bad, 45’ish minutes. If I worked the 11a-11p shift 20 minutes tops. My apt complex was at the orange crush, I-5, 22 and 57 interchange.

I was in Dallas/Ft Worth recently, that place has some big roads and heavy traffic.

This area is annoying with it's continual growth. But I don't fret driving here like I do with Chatanooga and Atlanta.

Growing pains . Huntsville is a piece of cake.

Does not compare to Atlanta, I drive it every week.

Y’all are full of crap. I drive through Huntsville daily. It’s horrible. The ones saying it’s not bad don’t drive it daily during rush hour.

I do.

Used to drive Birmingham traffic. There were days when my 12 mile drive to work took over an hour.

That's what I was going to add to put this into perspective. In Birmingham a 45 minute commute to work could mean you just made it to Chelsea which is just South of Town. You can live in Scottsboro or Florence and get to work in Huntsville faster.

Birmingham is nowhere near as bad as Chattanooga IMO.

I can tolerate it, but I go in early & therefore get off early to miss most of it. I arrive at the office at or slightly before 6am & leave 2:45 to 3pm. Outside that window puts you into the thickest part of rush hour.

Like everywhere I suppose, if folks would get off their phones, slow down, & be more attentive we'd all be better off.

The overpass being built by Rural King is my problem. It is 5 years too late. The north side going to the Tennessee state line is the next boom town. But I 'll take this over DFW traffic any day. Especially the toll roads there.

Huntsville has been listed by several surveys stating it is in the top 10 places to move in the US. They are doing a good job considering the number of people moving here. Hopefully SW airlines will decide to start service in the future.

50 minute drive took me 2 hours this morning.

I'm from Dallas County for all my driving life so yes, Huntsville traffic is more than I like, but I've been in worse. When I have to drive in Huntsville I try to avoid rush hour.

Huntsville traffic is based on about a 15 minute window. If you’re driving through Huntsville at 7am headed to work, you’re fine. If you’re driving through at 715, every one from 4 counties around will be on the road.

I can leave my house at 7am and be at work on redstone in about 30 minutes (22 miles to work). If I leave at 715 or later then it’s a solid hour to include nightmare gate traffic.

The afternoons suck, unless you work until 6.

Coming from the east down 72 for the first appointment at the Dr. and thinking you'll jog over to 431 and beat the traffic doesn't work out either. I learned the hard way.

431 is terrible, no good way unless you are crossing 431 or 4 Mile pre-dawn!


My doctor is in Scottsboro! Not much traffic at all down that way

Pfft.

Drive in Kuwait, London, Seoul. Then get back with me.
