Here in the UK I could spend 13 hours on the M25 and would have only gone four junctions. The American mind cannot comprehend this.
Maybe not most of America but LA has some famously grueling traffic.
I, a German, am also struggling with travel times/distances in Britain.

Hours pass…

We have that in Texas too.
There are millions of cars in the Austin area, and at any given time all of them are on Mopac.
