Driving discussions in the northeast always remind me of that Spider-Man pointing meme. PA drivers think NJ and NY drivers suck, NY thinks NJ and PA suck, and then Jersey thinks everyone else sucks. I feel like it’s a bit of selection bias because people tend to drive worse when they’re in an unfamiliar place. Add on the fact that when a bad driver had the same state plates as you one tends to just write them off as an asshole versus lumping them into the out of state tribe of morons.
All I know is whenever someone in Philly tries to tell me us NJ drivers suck, I ask them if they’ve driven on 76 recently. That shit feels like Mad Max.
I76 is just constantly backed up, especially that stretch right near the 30th street exit. That area is just not capable of handing all the people commuting to downtown. It can take me just as long to get from the Delaware line on I95 to I76 as it does to go from the Platt Bridge where 76 starts to the 30th street exit for when I’m working out of Philly for the day.
Yeah around 30th definitely gets insane. What pisses me off is a bit further north by the zoo where you have maniacs going 60 plus on the shoulder to avoid the traffic. Hate that shit.
