There is no comparison between the Cross Bronx Expressway in NYC and any of the other places listed. The earlier post on this fails to include the fact that there is also seemingly endless construction on this road. Also, because of the *constant* large amount of truck traffic the pavement gets pushed out of the places on the road where the wheels come in contact with it. This means that the road surface has deep troughs where wheels ride and high points at the extreme edges of the lanes and in the middle. If you ever manage to get up some amount of speed you'll have a very hard time changing lanes as you go up and down, in and out of the troughs.
