Driving to work depends on which job I had/have. I've been able to walk (5mins) and drive a bit farther (5mins) to 30mins to 90mins.

[@klycan33]

Missed it today. Shame.

[@CHICHI-hi2pn]

My husband was a truck driver for over 40 years and the main reason they have accidents is because of vehicles pulling out in front of them or making a turn in front of them without signaling. They don't realize that these trucks can't stop on a dime because they are usually loaded with a total weight of 80,000 pounds. Most passenger cars don't realize this. They need to be educated on this fact. I'm glad to say that my spouse has drove over 30 million miles and never had a chargeable accident.

[@michaeltipton5500]

I agree. People just don't give truck drivers the room they need.

[@jewelsoren7076]

I've had that happen going 75 miles per hour and a Truck driver pulled over while I was beside them so it's the other way too. luckily I was watching and almost ran off the road to save myself and my passengers. Everyone needs to watch not just passenger cars. I knew some truck drivers growing up and they always said I'm bigger and I will run them of the road is I want too. Hopefully they don't think like that anymore.

[@isaacsiedentop2821]

So you're telling us your husband drove the maximum 10 hours allowed each day, every day, for 50 years, and averaged 164 mph?

[@aaroncollins85]

Fully loaded trucks actually stop faster than empty ones

So you're telling us your husband has driven nearly a third of the distance from the Earth to the Sun?

[@darcyjorgensen5808]

Please note: odd-numbered Interstates run north/south, even-numbered Interstates run east/west.

[@justinbears2941]

As truck drivers in the US, we can only drive so many hours a day. A lot of the accidents come from people that don’t know how to drive on a daily basis. I get cut off at least four times a day so most of the accidents come from people driving crazy there’s less accidents from truck drivers then there are Cars and truck pick up and when a truck does crash a lot of times it caused by the car

What blows my mind is how many truck rest stop lots have had to be added on all the interstates since the USA started tracking trucker breaks by computer/gps. I’ve traveled on interstates my entire life, many decades, and you used to hardly ever seeing trucks resting. I’m glad steps were taken so you aren’t encouraged to keep driving anymore. (For those who don’t know many truckers are paid by mile driven.) I know being forced to take breaks when a big chunk of “driving” hours was stuck in a traffic jam but hopefully overall it’s a better lifestyle.

[@justinbears2941]

To be honest, there is still not enough truck parking and Iowa. They seems like they have a rest area every 40 miles which I think is a grand idea because as a truck driver, we push right down to the last second that we have to stop because if we don’t a lot, these guys won’t ever make money enough to support the families, there’s just not enough truckstops not enough rest areas and gas stations. Don’t even have any workforce to eat. We can’t even pull into restaurants to get anything to eat. They want to service these unhealthy trash food. We need more cafés and truckstops not McDonald’s truckstops not IHOP actual café I guess you could put a IHH hopper a Denny’s something like that but there’s just not enough healthy food force out here, not enough rest areas that’s why you see a lot of guys parking on the shoulders and on on ramps and off ramps, which is dangerous

[@leslie5161]

Truck drivers have to have about the same ti.e if rest equal to their driving time. Approximately.

I grew up in Iowa. One winter, my car spun out on the ice. As I faced the road behind me, a semi truck (big lorry) was heading straight for me. Luckily, my car continued to spin and I stopped on the verge. It took me several minutes before my knees were strong enough to start driving again.

[@catzbestfriend]

My first thought as a Wisconsinite was “I wonder if 41 is on this list.” In the winter the northern Oshkosh to Appleton section of 41 can become super icy and windy. Every couple years there is a large pile up on 41. The sad part is that almost all of those pile ups are caused by one person driving too fast for conditions. Also if you are ever in a car pile up, NEVER get out of your car unless it is on fire. Most people die in pile ups because they leave their vehicle and are struck by another oncoming car.

[@darcyjorgensen5808]

Hey, I live about three miles from I-80! Don’t forget it goes over Donner Pass, so can get shut down by snow and snow-related accidents. (And, yes, this is in California.)

[@WendyLobello]

I live one block. If I go outside late at night, I can hear the traffic. He failed to mention the loneliest part of 80

[@Yvette-b4p]

My old home in Ohio was very close to I-80 and a lot of accidents happen in the winter. You can end up with car pile ups when roads get icy and being blinded by heavy snow. The speed limit on highways is much higher, and people will drive too fast for the weather conditions.

[@userdesorae]

I'm a Californian so I understand, plus, I live in the Sierra Nevada mountains, and we deal with the snow and ice over Hwy 50.

The two mentioned here that come through Nashville where I live are Highway 41 and I-40. 41 becomes a couple of well traveled roads here, both of which I have spent time on,though not near the part I live in. On the other hand, I-40 it’s only about a mile from home for me, and I have spent a great deal of time on it in my life. And I’m glad the Nashville area is not the most dangerous part for either of them.

We drive highway 40 alot through N.C and Tennessee. The mountains can make it a bit hairy. It's a beautiful drive though , it does have some curves. I95 is another we drive, traffic is insane. As far as how far we drive for work, roughly 45 minutes one way.

[@carlacook5181]

Lewis, a park and ride is where you park your car in a small lot and car pool ( share a ride) with others who also park there, some have a fee to park there. The last place I worked took me about 10 minutes to get to work. I am now disabled and no longer work.

I’ve been on I-15 from Vegas into Barstow CA and I can 100% see why that’s a deadly stretch of road. It’s so isolated that it’ll take first responders a while to get out there, and if you’re gonna arrive at a major hospital in a timely manner, you’re either gonna be flown to Las Vegas, or the Los Angeles area, both are pretty far out.

[@ZeroTolerance-tk9ce]

I drove an hour to work every day for over 40 years. About 40,000 people are killed in car crashes every year in the US. I'm surprised interstate 81 wasn't on the list.

[@thejourney1369]

I was too! Where I live, I81 has several accidents a day. There is an app we use and there’s always three to four accidents a day reported. Where I live it’s only two lanes each way and can’t handle all the traffic that uses it. I worked as a courier for 10 years, driving 350 miles a day. I haven’t driven in over 10 years due to vision loss, but I hated driving 81 even back then. I felt so much better when I’d hit I64 even though I had to watch out for deer.

I don't think people understand how dangerous semis can be. I never drive next to a semi for a lengthy period. I always pass as quickly as possible. I will wait for the car ahead of me to completely pass the semi before I move to pass. I never ride behind a semi if I can not fully see his mirrors. The one exception is rush hour traffic jams or just bad traffic jams.

Too funny he imagines alligators attacking while driving down the highway.

[@CautiousSquirrel]

My commute to and from my last job was about an hour. I refused to use the interstate so I took the long way. It's possible I could have saved about 10-15min if I had used the interstate, but I just couldn't bring myself to do it. The place I'm working now isn't too far from where I live, so it takes maybe 15-20min. However, I used to work in residential property management - leasing apartments - and I lived on-site at a few of my properties so it only took me about 3 minutes to walk to the office.

[@tephralynn]

I-75 is pretty much THE highway where I live so, unless I am deliberately avoiding it, I'm on it every time I leave town. Back in 1999 I was traveling and just missed being involved in a 114 car pile-up, courtesy of that lovely lake effect snow Michigan gets so much of. My longest commute was a short term contract job, 90 minutes in rush hour traffic toward Boston.

[@melodygrim471]

Hilarious! The first 3 named are 1. The one I live closest to and use daily here in Land O Lakes, Florida., 2. The one I grew up next to in Illinois, and learned to do my Interstate driving on, and 3. The one I lived close to when I lived in Baltimore/Nottingham! For a minute there, I thought you were just mapping everywhere I'd lived. Then you hit 75, and yes, That's right here, too! Mentioning Tampa! And, yes, Alligators have been known to attack cars! Lol We just had 2 hurricanes tear up this area, and the road in front of my house has been 2 feet under water for the last month, and a lot of the properties here are under water - my daughter's included, and I was going to tell her we needed to be careful because of gators, when she came home and told me she saw 2 gators next door! Love you!❤❤❤

[@maverick4462]

Places I've lived, the longest time to get to work was between an hour to an hour an a half. Nowdays, its about 10-15 minutes. A lot of truck accidents are due to snow and ice, some are people who don't know how to drive around trucks, i.e. leave room. Others are wind, and some are driver fatigue.

[@scottw12]

heres one for ya, The Trans-Canada Highway, about 4,860 miles (7,820 kilometers) long, spans Canada from ocean to ocean.

[@stuartwilkinson172]

But does it even maintain the same number of highway all the way across? Kings highway 1 only makes it to the Ontario Border, then King's Highway 17 continues from there. So, is the transcanada really the longest highway? Nope, it's just like the US interstate system for the name of the major highways of Canada. Saying the transcanada is the longest in North America is like saying taking I-5 to I-90 to I-95 to I-10 and back to I-5 is the longest highway because it's all on the interstate.

[@gingersnap22]

My younger brother is a truck driver and needs to drive a section of interstate 80 on a daily basis. The stories that he has told about the accidents he has seen, especially in the winter, would make your hair stand up. There are so many chain reaction accidents, too.

[@glennadavissr1700]

I've traveled I-95 most of my life. In the Georgia / South Carolina sections, it's 4 lanes abreast. Door to door traffic going 80 mph. People exceed 80 trying to cover more ground. Things move so quickly, there's nearly no time to react. I'd still rather drive it than fly. I know flying is safer, but you don't fall nearly as far.

[@VirginiaHarrington-u3k]

I made the drive from Washington DC to Salt Lake City Utah in three days in the 1980s when the speed limit was 55 mph, driving 17 hours per day. This was mainly on Interstate 80. A trip like that lets you know how big this country is.

[@stevelasell1185]

In the 1950s, President Eisenhower started the Federal Highway Act (I think that's what it's called). People in my grandparents' generation jumped on the chance for work. My in-law grandparents were one of the families that built the roads, especially in the mid-west and northern states, like Montana. They moved along as the road was built, so their kids went to many different schools throughout their youth. Lots of families did this.

[@Sur5r1]

Before I retired I had a few jobs, Travel time varied because the places I worked at would not be in the same town I lived in except my very last job before retirement. So travel time for me was usually anywhere between 60 minutes, 40 minutes, 25 minutes, and finally down to about 10 minutes.

As you saw, both I-20 and I-75 go through Atlanta. He isn't kidding. Drivers are wild here. "Southern Hospitality" goes out the window when you're stuck on one of those interstates. I refuse to drive I-75 in Atlanta. I will take the perimeter road (I-285) or side roads. Not worth the anxiety and headache. Ditto that for I-4 in Central Florida, basically Tampa to Daytona, west to east. Won't get on it. Used to be fine, now it's a hot mess.

I've done that one a lot, too. I used to do thr I-35 from Dallas to OKC a lot, and before that from OKC to Wichita. I-35 can be crazy.

It took me about 20 minutes to drive yourself children 2 miles to school. We them moved to a small town in Iowa along the Mississippi River. It took him around 15 to 20 minutes, max, to get to work. It took me about 10 minutes to drive my kids 5 miles to school.

Naw, I-5 is a piece of cake. Assuming no snow or accidents over the Grapevine (just north of LA) and the Mt. Ashland Pass (between California and Oregon) is clear. The grade down from the Ashland Pass is steep enough that there are 18-wheeler escape stops, in case their brakes overheat. Well, okay, the Terwilliger Curves as you go downhill into Portland can be kinda’ freaky. But otherwise, all Californians have driven it untold times.

[@malcolmmceasy2252]

A few fun facts: 1. In the US, north/south highways are usually odd numbered, while east/west highways are evenly numbered. 2. If you see a highway that has three numbers, it's usually considered an auxiliary route for a 2-numbered highway with a similar number. If you ever find yourself in Michigan (USA) take a chance to be driven on I-696 (an auxiliary highway to I-96). Four lanes in both directions, built in a trench, with no stops and (usually) no observable speed limit in the left lane. If you love driving fast, you'd love I-696.

You are so cute and funny. It's like watching your kids goofing off 😂😂 from Texas. I'm a retired nurse. Most of my jobs were 45min to 1.5 hours. I did have one job that was only 5min. A lot of car accidents are due to alcohol intoxicated or persons high on drugs. Some are drivers who fall asleep.

Right now, the massive interchange on the west side of Tulsa is being rebuilt, so a little more time. So not a bad time for a metro area with a population around 1 million residents.

My mom’s family traveled all over the country for vacations by car in the 1950s. They OFTEN had to wait while the road builders were blasting through hills and mountains before they’d let some cars pass through. Now I can hop on roads like I 80 and go 80-90 mph for hours.

Where I am in Utah I frequent I15, I70, and I80. I70 through Utah is probably the most scenic beautiful drive out of all the interstate highways. These are definitely dangerous, especially in the wintertime with possible icy conditions while at the same time having 80MPH posted speed limits as well as likelihood of various wildlife jumping out at you. I15 also experiences very heavy traffic along the Wasatch corridor from Santaquin to North Ogden

In winter or because of construction, it can take around an hour to get to work from home. Not my longest commute. I used to drive around 60 miles to work which took me around an hour and 15 minutes on average. One day during a really bad snowstorm, it took me almost 4 hours to get home from work.

So, i now drive the back roads whenever I can or my husband drives me. We are heading to Chicago this weekend. Guess whose driving? My husband is. I'd never get there.

[@CautiousSquirrel]

I was wondering about I-4 and "malfunction junction." I was looking through the comments to see if anyone else mentioned it. I was surprised it wasn't on the list. I have driving anxiety even on regular roads, but on the interstate it's far worse. I wasn't aware 41 is so bad. I've driven on 75 a few times to get to Brandon and that was definitely stressful. The only one I really started being comfortable on was 275/ the Howard Frankland because I was always visiting my boyfriend in St Pete. In 2020 we both lost our job and I had to move in with him because I couldn't afford my apt anymore. Four months later, my car died and I thought it would be irresponsible to buy a new car when I didn't have a job, so I didn't drive for just over 3 years. When I was finally able to get another car, I was actually scared to start driving again. I've been "behind the wheel" for over a year now, but I still haven't used the interstate in this car. Seeing these stats I just think "do I REALLY need to go anywhere, though?" lol

[@AnneRGregory]

commutes to work depend on the person. As an example there are many people who commute from Chicago, in Illinois, to Milwaukee Wisconsin. This is an average drive of 2hrs give or take how fast you go and whether a person is actually driving the speed limit. Though most people who only commute from the nearby sub-burbs aren't usually more than 1 hr away.

As someone who used to drive truck and now drives taxi in Detroit Michigan I can a test to the validity of those list. Also freeways in Detroit are posted at 55 mph in most to the densely populated areas, yet everyone drive at 70 mph or higher raising the numbers for I 75 higher, as large parts of it were under construction in the Detroit metro area in 2019. One section of I 75 is still a construction zone near the Gordie Howe International Bridge is being constructed.

I drive I-95. I am not surprised it's #1.

[@jeffreyheberlein4721]

Hey Lew! Maybe you recognize the name because i watch all your video's {I actually wake up, get coffee and sit down to watch your video's}. You have mentioned the amount of snow you get in the UK and are surprised by some of the video's you see of the US. I live in Greeley, Colorado and cold and snow during the winter is normal. But if you were to watch a video of Trail Ridge Road snowfall in Colorado you would get an idea of what the high country of Colorado is like during the winter. The road is already closed and won't open until the spring due to the amount of snow that accumulates up there. it's about an hour from my home.

I was driving through Atlanta during evening rush hour. Not being from Atlanta it was scary. In fact I had an anxiety attack and had to get off the interstate and get a hotel for the night. It was nuts. And people are driving in not safe ways more than ever.

In Canada the highest fatality rates would be from Quebec City, QC to Windsor, ON (right across the River from Detroit). It is numbered 401 thru’ Ontario. Another route with frequent accidents is Alberta’s QE2 (Queen Elizabeth II) Hwy which is a 260 km freeway stretching from North Calgary to South Edmonton. This freeway is the main transportation route for about 70% of that province’s population. Finally, in British Columbia, there are the Coquihalla-Trans Canada Freeways connecting Kamloops & Kelowna with Vancouver. Discovery Channel has a program called “Highway Thru Hell” which highlights the frequent accidents along those motorways.

Part of I 40 in North Carolina was washed out from flooding caused by Hurricane Helene

[@debrafoster4374]

Been on several of those highways (and lived to tell the tale). I-35 through DFW and Austin is a total nightmare. The traffic is terrible. I drove I-35 to work and my average trip each way was an hour and fifteen minutes. I've had days where it took over 4 hours one way. And I think the average speed on I-20 is 100 mph, lol/

[@robbarnett3531]

I don't know if you noticed, our east-west interstates are even numbered (usually ending with a "0") and north-south are odd numbered (usually ending with a"5").

[@vlschaub]

Okay so commute to work in the US depends heavily on where you live. If you live in Southern California, you can be commuting 2+ hours each way due to traffic. I live in a very small town in Northern California. My commute is about 7 minutes (10 during tourist season).

[@YetiUprising]

I was just driving down 41 a couple hours ago

[@AnneRGregory]

Thanks for the fact check that's an awesome comparison.

[@rkdungey3]

The interstate systems was being built a year before I was born in 1956. So, growing up taking across country trips, we saw a lot of the interstate highways being built.

[@suerabe5708]

I’ve had commutes from less than a mile, to 60 minutes. It’s common for a commute to be 30-90 minutes on average. I bet is NYC and LA it’s probably more.

[@claranielsen3382]

Lol That might get you from El PasoTexas to Houston with another 2 hours to get to Louisiana. Lol When I lived in Houston it would take me an hour to get to work, when I lived in Las Vegas it might take 30 to 45 minutes. I live in Lubbock TX now and it takes me 20 to 30 minutes but we have a spread out city.

In Chicago area it’s not unheard of to commute 90 minutes each way. It’s considered a good commute if you are 30 minutes or less……but in snow a 30 minute commute often turns into 3-4 hours….and Chicago area is so flat there is an issue with sunset in the late fall and winter and early spring on East West commutes. The sun is blinding and makes even 30 minutes pretty unbearable. My partner’s longest commute was 90 minutes and $17.80 in tolls per day. That was horrendous and pricey.

I live in Indiana and highway 41 goes through a big part of the state. I live up the street from from a intersection on highway 41 that is always having accidents.There was one that happened not that long ago and someone died in it.

When I was a kid I remember seeing an accident where the car, a big car, probably a Cadillac had been squished between 2 trucks like an accordion. I was about 5 or 6 years old at the time I didn't know all the different car makes and models. It is something that has stayed with me for 60 years. I think it was the worst accident I have ever seen.😱

[@MsAllisonL]

I was passing a truck one time during very windy weather. The truck started tipping over, and would’ve landed on my car had the driver not been able to correct very quickly.

[@jack-of-all-trades1234]

I will dispel one myth. Not everywhere in the US is a majestic scenic route for driving. I've been bored to tears for very long stretches at times.

[@sherryjoiner396]

I agree! West Texas comes to mind. 😅

[@chadalenduff]

On the interstates, you can go faster, and as a result any wreck you may have is more likely to be fatal. Truck drivers also push the limits on regulations and rest, so they can drive fatigued which also adds to the danger along with people usually going around trucks in regular cars because trucks have to go slower.

[@jillollipop2978]

You mentioned seeing a car get hit by a truck and it was spinning. That was me back in 1994 outside Harrisburg, PA. I was driving with my mom, brother, his wife, and their 2yo when a semi came into my lane. They had their signal on, and I pressed on my horn, but they kept coming over. I couldn't get onto the shoulder due to a disabled vehicle left exactly where I needed to go. So I sped up to get past (I was in line with the cab) and was almost past when they hit my rear driver's side. And away we went. I don't know how we didn't flip over, but we landed back down, having blown out all tires and resting across an entrance ramp. Miraculously none of us was hurt. That was so scary. Thankfully the truck driver, from Indiana, saw what happened and stopped and ran back to us. To this day I find myself fighting down panic when I'm passing or being passed by an 18-wheeler. We now live on the I-75 corridor in Sarasota, FL (which the narrator mentioned), and I can attest that it is so dangerous. Multiple accidents every single day. What is up, people?! Between construction, population gain, distracted and asshole drivers, it's not fun.

[@Tylermaddox1911]

Your smart for not staying next to a semi. Put your blinkers on early around them especially in the mountains. Slow down slowly.

[@le8148]

I’ve driven across i40 a lot. Yes, a good chunk is very plain nothing around landscape-wise. Other roads I’m quite familiar with and driven a lot in this video is i-20, i-75, and i-95. I would like to nominate i-4 as an honorable mention. Yes, it’s pretty short, but soooo many tourists traveling on it makes it dangerous imo. 😜 *It’s an interstate going from Daytona to Tampa in Florida and is a main thoroughfare for Orlando.

[@WendyLobello]

When we moved to OKC, we drove 40 twice a year for 6 years. When we left OKC, cool-time change, look 52 oz steak, red rocks. Colorado River and watching all the truckers move over to the slow lane at the CA line....2 years later-shoot, we are only to the red rocks? I drove straight from Flagstaff to OKC one time and my legs/feet were swollen and shakey. So glad I don't do that drive any longer. Cool the first time, not so much every time later.

[@UncommonJane-t7y]

I-35 also has fatalities because people driving from the south don’t know how to drive in snow. I’ve barely missed crashes from people with Texas plates driving in Minnesota.

[@missmichel-a]

Ooo I 75 smh. The cut in the hill going into Cincinnati from Kentucky even though they improved it suuuucks ,and the silliest exit I have ever seen on a highway is at hopple street in Cincinnati. You're fighting for your life almost every time you have to exit there 😮‍💨
