The Daily Beast has compiled a new list of the worst commutes in the country, and the Capital Beltway, especially the Southbound area near Exit 2A-B, has come in at Number 3. Sounds about right. Only the Hollywood Freeway in Los Angeles and the Lunalilo Freeway in Honolulu rank as worse in terms of bottlenecks and hours per week of congestion. The order was based on the peak hour Travel Time Index for the metropolitan area each highway is in.
