And you thought motorists in Seattle or Boston were bad.

Portland drivers rank as the worst in the United States, according to a new report published by QuoteWizard, a website that compares insurance quotes.

The survey based its findings on data related to crashes, speeding tickets, intoxicated driving infractions and other traffic violations.

“Hard to believe speeding is the issue in Portland given the brutal gridlock traffic on I-5,” the report’s author writes.

After Portland, the survey found drivers in Boise, Virginia Beach, Columbus (Ohio) and Sacramento to be the worst. Seattle (No. 14) and Boston (No. 28) didn’t even crack the top 10.

Speed Limit Back To 35 MPH On St. John’s Bridge

The Oregon Department of Transportation on Thursday said it’s re-opened one of the sidewalks on the St. John’s Bridge after a maintenance project shut it down for six weeks.

As a result, ODOT has bumped the speed limit on the bridge back up to 35 mph. It had been reduced to 25 mph during the sidewalk closure.
