    21. NO ONE in Tennessee knows the meaning of the "lane ends - merge (direction)" signs. In fact, 80% of them think they know that it means exactly the opposite of what it means.

    22. Turn signals will not be used. Prepare accordingly.

    22 1/2: no one speeds up getting onto the interstate.

    I must protest, for a city our size our traffic issues are mild at best, especially in regards to delays. We have issues and shitty drivers for sure, but the traffic could be much worse. And no.18 is all around wrong. East Nash is actually east, not north and there's plenty of reasons to go there. #1 being to remove lame ass Ron Paul paraphernalia.

    23. Unlike most cities, Nashville is not laid out on a grid. If you think you can cut across and end up going the right way, you'll usually find yourself lost and going back the way you came.

    I would argue that my 80-mile roundtrip commute from Murfreesboro to West End (having to brave I-24 AND I-440 in both rush hours) rivals any commute horrors anyone in a larger city has to deal with.

    Also, if you're not going at least 80 mph in the middle or left lane on I-24, you will get run over.

    @Megan - I think I lived in Nashville for 3 years before I ventured onto 24. No, really. It's THAT scary.

    A scream!!!

    I'm SO relieved! The times we've visited Nashville, we discussed how horrible the drivers were. Then I thought maybe I was being a yankee snob. I mean, driving in Boston is definitely an adventure... but Nashville...damn. I feel better.

    #10 - hilarious

    Friends from Atlanta, Chicago, Seattle, Portland, and LA/SanDiego all think the traffic and people here in Nashville are the WORST they've ever seen/driven with! There is no dispute on this topic among any of them or us!

    People suck at driving everywhere. Where Nashville really succeeds at sucking is city and highway planning. Really. WTF!

    I totally experienced #13 today on my way back from NY.

    Love the list!

    We just moved here from texas we thought it to be weired that Tn. does not offer drivers- ed also no defensive driving courses. After driving on all the intrestates I would agree with hang on and pray and that nascar saying or the speed limit in nashville area. I,m glad to know that I was not the only one that thought this way.
