    Atlanta Ranked 3rd Worst U.S. City for Drivers, Study Finds

    If you’ve ever felt like driving in Atlanta is a nightmare, a new study confirms you’re not imagining things.

    The city has been ranked the third-worst in the country for drivers, trailing only Miami and Portland, Oregon.

    The study, conducted by Lance Surety Bonds, points to several reasons why Atlanta drivers have it tough—frequent accidents, heavy congestion, and a high rate of fatal crashes.

    On average, the city records 3.86 accidents per 1,000 drivers and 20.6 motor vehicle deaths per 100,000 residents. To make matters worse, traffic moves at a sluggish pace, with an average travel time of 2.04 minutes per mile.

    While Atlanta struggles, Detroit emerged as the best U.S. city for drivers, followed by Oklahoma City and Raleigh.

    Winter driving presents its own set of challenges, and Boston was named the worst city for navigating the roads in colder months, followed by Washington, D.C., and Portland.

    Meanwhile, Bakersfield, California, topped the list of best cities for winter driving, with El Paso and San Antonio, Texas, close behind.
