As a Philadelphian, I try to avoid 76 and 676 (Vine Street Expressway). It is constantly jammed up. In fact, I prefer to take the train into Philly, as just driving in the city makes my anxiety skyrocket. Edit - I also avoid the entirety of Broad St. It's maybe 7 or 8 miles long, but with like 500 traffic lights
Looking at the traffic map most days, it seems like such a chore to get anywhere along those two routes. There was quite a lot of traffic when I filmed, but it actually seemed pretty good compared to how busy the routes usually are. Hope to return soon, despite the quite stressful driving experience, that beat even out NYC in my opinion
@xlbolt Schulykill Expwy, Vine St Expwy, Broad St, Kelly Dr, Lincoln Dr, Germantown Pk, Bustleton Pk, Henry Ave, Ridge Ave. Lol every major road in the city is always jammed up. The train rides save my sanity
Nice video as always. Never been to that part of the world. The 4 lane is overcapacity and it does need an upgrade. But the 401 through Toronto is mostly 16 lanes and it's just as congested... Not sure what the solution is. Congrats on 2000 subscribers. That's a big feat. I really enjoy your videos. I have to take one day and catch up on watching. Right now I'm busy making my own videos...
Hope it's been going on great for you with your footage! Philadelphia doesn't seem to have great transit alternatives in the region, and more specifically not enough transit compared to the huge commuter demand in the region. But I think on the highway itself, some basic merge/weaving improvements could go a long way to improving flow
@@xlbolt Even with better merge lanes, 2 lanes in each direction is not enough for an urban freeway. If they stacked it, they may be able to get 5 lanes in each direction. My videos aren't going bad. Thanks for your wishes.
The Schuylkill Expwy is so outdated, it caused a lot of traffic having 4-lanes and it's Philly's busiest expressway travelling from there to the King of Prussia Mall, becoming one of the worst shopping commutes in the US.

@@xlbolt I'd take Philly traffic over Toronto any day

@@thelonelywolf88 SEPTA is a great place to ride on. But some roadways doesn't get busy.

Philly has a cool freeway network system.
How do you take a picture of the big hwy signs
Either freeze-frame screenshot from my footage or taken from a Google Street view image as needed, then edited into the footage
@@xlbolt Is this SEPTA at 4:13?

@@CrystalClearWith8BE I think the Vine St Expressway has it worse
@@thelonelywolf88, if you think I-676 is Philly's busiest highway, travelling through Central Philly and Camden via the Ben Frank Brg, you're right.
@@CrystalClearWith8BE plus NJ 42 / I-76 after the end of the AC Expressway leading into Philly is absolutely horrible
