MonkeyMeter.com rates road rage conditions for U.S. cities.
(PRWEB) August 14, 2005 -- Monkey Meter is the original road rage traffic reporter. The site reports the current level of road rage for your city and for the entire United States. Experienced drivers know that some days are worse than others on the road, and it's not just Friday's. Checking Monkey Meter you can see if you are the crazy one, or if it is truly crazy out there.
Using input from over 12,000 users from over 150 different cities the site uses several calculations to determine the top ten cities with road rage. The ranking is constantly being updated, and you can see it here: http://www.monkeymeter.com/topten.php.
This Summer's Top Ten Cities with Road Rage:
1. Miami
2. Boston
3. Washington, D.C.
4. Houston
5. Los Angeles
6. Tampa
7. San Diego
8. Atlanta

Miami has been without a doubt the worse place for road rage this entire year. Tampa and Washington, DC are usually close by. Currently ranked second, Boston, is usually in the top twenty, but began climbing the ranks in mid June to it current position.
Also available on the site is information on the moving trend for road rage, a place to vent your feelings, and recently added, a mobile link for users to rate their rage by their favorite handheld device. A national average page also exists displaying all of the cities in the current data base with their current road rage rating. The site tries to keep the attitude light by including daily jokes, and place for pictures relating to anything automotive. Links to other automotive related sites are also available.
Since Monkey Meters beginning, Dec. 2004, user input has reflected an overall drop in road rage. A semi predictable pattern also emerges from user input as well. It appears road rage basically goes up for a few days, and then down for a few days like a sin wave. The overall average has no relation to day of week, though days of week have consistent predictable rating.
