Wisconsin complains about traffic? What are they expecting an empty Chinese highway?
There are a handful of "urban" areas. I find myself irate at traffic frequently because my normal way home involves turn left from a 2 lane city road into another 2 lane city road and I often have to wait 2-3 minutes for a clearing to pull out. Visiting Baltimore and DC suburbs I'm reminded that such a turn would take an hour or more in many places. 

But yes, they are so used to a highway being clear and exceeding the speed limit that when there is road construction (my industry) and traffic merges to 1 lane going 55 or less there is holy hell to pay with the citizens. In all reality traffic is not bad, ever. Even Milwaukee and Madison have very little to complain about. I really like driving in and around Minneapolis/St. Paul- combined they are Baltimore sized but with Midwest courtesy. I've never had a problem merging into a lane in rush hour. Unlike 70, 270, 695, 495, 295, 95, etc. in Maryland where if I can see your headlight in my side-view mirror that's all the room I'm going to get to merge.

 
then I wouldn't get my hopes up for today.
