A stretch of U.S. Hwy. 280 in the metro Birmingham area, through Mountain Brook, Homewood, Vestavia Hills and Hoover, Ala., ranks among the top five most passive-aggressive roadways in the U.S., according to a recent survey.

“A lot of these behaviors are small acts of impatience or territorial driving that people almost normalize, yet they contribute to tension, anxiety and emotional fatigue behind the wheel every single day.”

American River Wellness, a resource for commercial transportation workers and commercial fleet operators, surveyed over 3,000 motorists to identify the roads most associated with passive-aggressive driving and behavior.

“A lot of these behaviors are small acts of impatience or territorial driving that people almost normalize, yet they contribute to tension, anxiety and emotional fatigue behind the wheel every single day,” Graham Sargent, a spokesperson for American River Wellness, said in a release.

U.S. Hwy. 280 is a heavily used roadway for Birmingham and is well-known for petty drivers who refuse to let others merge, speed up to close a gap when you signal, and ride slowly in the left lane. The stretch of highway ranked fourth for the most passive-aggressive drivers in the nation, behind the top three: 1.) Ventura Boulevard in Los Angeles, 2.) U.S. 1, Federal Highway in Fort Lauderdale, Fla. and 3.) Central Avenue, Yonkers to White Plains Corridor, in Westchester County, NY.

Other Alabama roadways made the list, including Huntsville’s University Drive, also known as Highway 72, which ranked as the 40th most passive-aggressive road, and Airport Boulevard in Mobile, which came in at No. 45.

Among the key findings, truck drivers overwhelmingly cited merge lanes and lane closures as the places where motorists behave worst around large vehicles. Their biggest concerns related to how drivers can cut dangerously close in front of their vehicles, which are too heavy to make abrupt stops.
