The Raw Story: Los Angeles has something of a bad reputation for traffic jams, with its perennially snarled freeways. But, surprisingly, it’s not the worst US city for gridlock, says a new study.
That dubious honor goes to .. Honolulu.
Commuters in the Hawaiian paradise capital spent some 58 hours not moving in their cars last year, said the study which nevertheless put LA in second place, with San Francisco and New York not far behind in the traffic nightmare stakes.

The only thing that keeps Houston relatively low on such a list is the relatively large number of "get-around" street options there still are here. Austin is the worst in Texas, closely followed by Dallas (managing to have major construction on ALL its freeways at the same time).
I can't believe Honolulu is worse than New York. Only a lunatic would drive into Manhattan.

Exactly, Jeff. While unless you want to be jammed up in a bus in Honolulu, you will be in a car...unless you're biking or skateboarding or walking, not so good for the morning commute in from Kailua.
