I don't know how it is in D.C or anything, but in Kansas City there's exit after exit and 3 highways on top of each other around the whole city.  Even my dad (who worked there for quite a while) gets lost.

Kansas City isn't even as bad as St. Louis for highway navigation, in my opinion. I haven't been to DC, or New York, so I don't know about those two major cities, but I found Chicago to be pretty easy, provided you can battle your way across the lanes, Atlanta to be pretty easy, and Houston to be by far the worst. The city layout is terrible, the highways don't stack up as often as St. Louis, but they make less sense, people drive the worst of any major city I've been in, and they never seem to let up on traffic. It's not rush hour level bad all the time, but it's pretty bad.
