Ever been stuck in slow moving bumper-to-bumper traffic at midnight on a expressway because of the traffic? No accidents or anything, just the traffic. I've been in one in Chicago. There's one difference, BTW, in Chicago on the expressways, the tendency is for folks to move along quite nicely at 60 MPH and almost bumper-to-bumper. The tie ups seem to be mostly when they're repairing the the expressways (which is a never ending saga in and of itself).

At any rate, I was speaking in terms of sheer size. Chicago makes Atlanta seem small by comparison.
