No, I’m near Philly.
Too many areas in and around the city are like this at rush hour. I was lucky for several years because my company allowed people in IT to telecommute. After that, my policy was to go early or leave late. It amazes me that the same intersections that are jammed between 4:30 to 5:30 are practically deserted at 6:00 PM.
In smaller cities like Wilmington, DE streets can downright creepy after sunset, because you might be the only car waiting for the light to change. The morning rush was more varied, and could be bad until 9:30. Still, it cut down on my stress level to avoid the worst of it.
