They are the highways to hell in the country’s most gridlocked cities. The Daily Beast crunches the numbers to determine your ultimate morning nightmares. How did your commute in rank?....

#11, Bayshore Freeway (US 101), San Jose
Weekly hours of bottleneck congestion: 231
Worst bottleneck: Northbound, Old Middlefield Way
Length of worst bottleneck: .34 mi
Weekly hours of congestion on worst bottleneck: 27
Speed of worst bottleneck when congested: 20.2

Commuter Buzz: “There are stretches that look like a fault line with jagged edges,” says Mike McPherson.

This, my friends, IS WHERE I GET ON THE FREEWAY EVERY DAY. I would also like to note that #7 in Seattle was the closest on-ramp to I-5 for me when I lived in Fremont, but thank goodness for Hwy 99. I'm sure that ol' eye sore saved me from throwing a shoe at someone while driving down the road.

Ever wonder why there are shoes scattered on the roadways? I believe it's due to road congestion. And I wouldn't be surprised if I come home one shoe down one of these days.
