From fear of getting into an accident to spending way too much time at a red light and don't even get me started on 'roundabout-illiterate' drivers.

What Rockford intersections give you the BIGGEST headaches?

More importantly would be why they make you say things behind he wheel that your kids shouldn't hear.

I've lived in Rockford for almost 30 years and I still don't quite understand why it takes so damn long to get across town. I've lived in much bigger cities too, so what's up with that?

Roads that change names with no rhyme or reason...

Drivers who don't pay attention to traffic pattern changes...

Roundabouts that make some driver's heads explode...
