While Buffalo is not considered a "Major" city like New York, Chicago, or even Nashville, we still have to contend with traffic issues.

Granted, you won't be in bumper-to-bumper traffic for hours like some of those other cities, but there are some roads you will want to avoid during the afternoon commute.

Here Are The Top 5 Worst Roads To Be On At 5 PM In Western New York

The 290 Near The Big Blue Water Tower

This bottleneck of traffic from the 290 to the 90 interchange constantly comes to a standstill. Traffic is known to back up on the 290 right to the Main Street exit, and if something happens, you could be stuck in traffic starting at Millersport Highway.

Transit Road Between Losson And French Road

When they built the Delta Sonic near the Kohl's out there, traffic volume took a massive jump. There is plenty of stop-and-go, and as more and more businesses move into that stretch of area, you can expect the backups to continue.

Transit Road and Main Street In Williamsville

Yes, Transit Road is on here twice because it has become one of the busiest roads in Western New York. If you are traveling along Transit Road between Main and Maple Road....Good Luck!

The 190 Near The Peace Bridge

Things can get slow and busy after traffic picks up around the bend from Downtown Buffalo to the Peace Bridge. Add in the fact that some people wait to the last second to merge so they don't go into Canada, and you will be hitting your brakes a lot in the afternoon.

Niagara Falls Blvd Near The 290

Coming off the 290 heading to that plaza on Niagara Falls Blvd will test your patience in the afternoon. Just like Transit Road, the more things are built up on Niagara Falls Blvd, the worse traffic will become.
