Interstate 64, Norfolk, Virginia

1/5Terrible

“Bumper to bumper”

Interstate 64 is slammed with traffic (and when I say slammed I mean it’s bumper to bumper) starting about 3:30am to 4am and then again around the same time in the afternoon. It does have an HOV 2 la...Full review

Bay Avenue, Norfolk, Virginia

Bayou Boulevard, Pensacola, Florida

4/5Good

“Great countryside view”

Bayou Blvd is another scenic drive if you’re into a more countryside appeal. At the beginning of Bayou Blvd there is quite a lot to do so it’s more congested than further down the way. You have ever...Full review

12th Avenue, Pensacola, Florida

5/5Excellent

“Has a great view”

I would recommend driving on 12th Ave for one particular reason. There is an amazing, and I mean AMAZING, natural beauty here. Along a part of 12th Ave there are trees that line the road on both sid...Full review

Airport Boulevard, Pensacola, Florida

4/5Good

“Great place for everything.”

Airport Blvd is yet another congested street in Pensacola. This is probably because it runs into a lot of main roads and can lead you to a lot of places in Pensacola. It also is the gateway to the P...Full review

Mobile Highway, Pensacola, Florida

3/5Average

“Noisy to quiet”

Mobile Highway is another busy street in Pensacola. Although not as busy as Davis Highway, it does give you traffic troubles at certain points during the day. Mobile, too, has a lot to offer-mostly...Full review

N W Street, Pensacola, Florida

4/5Good

“Gateway to all the main streets”

W St is very urban. There are very little breaks between different things to do or service shops or gas stations or something. W St is really just a way to get to a lot of other places and a lot of...Full review

Davis Highway, Pensacola, Florida

2/5Poor

“Better off finding an alternate route!”

Davis Highway literally sucks as far as traffic goes. It is busy at all times during the day and the worst part is that it goes the entire way through town. There is so much to do on Davis Highway,...Full review
