全美100条“最讨厌高速公路” 前三名在加州



汽车经销商Gunther Volvo Cars Daytona Beach于2023年10月对美国3,000名司机进行了调查,评选出了全美最令人讨厌的100条高速公路。调查结果表明,前三条高速公路都在加州,分别是US-101,加州I-5和I-405(圣地亚哥高速)。

加州的US-101高速公路,特别是在旧金山和洛杉矶地区,因其严重的交通拥堵和频繁的瓶颈而闻名。由于持续拥堵的交通状况,高速公路给驾驶员带来了巨大的挑战,而在高峰时段,当车流显著减慢时,情况往往会加剧。在旧金山和洛杉矶等人口稠密的地区,US-101 公路因持续拥堵而臭名昭著,大量的刹车灯和喇叭声就证明了这一点。 交通速度可能会减慢至低于普通人的步行速度,在高密度出行期间尤其明显。 此外,该高速公路穿越多个主要旅游景点,增加了交通量。



加州I-5号州际公路是一条从圣地亚哥延伸至俄勒冈州的重要动脉,但其穿过洛杉矶的路段却体现了通勤者的挫败感。在这里,“高峰时间”是一个长期存在的误称,东洛杉矶和110立交桥等大型路口附近的交通拥堵是出了名的。高速公路的不断发展,以无休止的建设为标志,例如增建HOV车道,常常会加剧延误,将司机困在熙熙攘攘的洛杉矶天际线阴影下的缓慢、鸣笛的泥沼中。洛杉矶的I-5公路不仅仅是拥堵,它还代表着不同人口、无情的城市化和基础设施成长的烦恼的独特交汇点 – 所有这些都集中在一条拥堵的路段上。

加州的I-405州际公路被称为圣地亚哥高速公路,穿过洛杉矶市中心,作为僵局噩梦的象征而声名狼藉。高速公路的塞普尔维达山口 (Sepulveda Pass) 毗邻圣莫尼卡 (Santa Monica) 山脉,其地理挑战为拥堵鸡尾酒增添了一丝曲折。I-405 公路独特地融合了基础设施、环境和文化因素,在美国交通拥堵名人堂中占有一席之地,体现了洛杉矶与汽车之间复杂关系的精髓。

紧随前三名之后的第四名是Pennsylvania, I-76 (Pennsylvania Turnpike),第五名是Colorado, I-70。下面是剩下的名单。
