I second the motion for I-81.
Heavy commercial traffic. Much up and down "whoop-de-doo" mountainous terrain, causes high speed differential between trucks trying to gain momentum on downhills, losing speed on uphills, and regular drivers in cars (many college age- travelling to... college.). These aren't big mountains like out west, but they cause very high speed differentials, in an area where inclement weather happens often, and when the snow falls, it often falls wet. Throw in some out of state drivers who are hightailin' it to get to wherever they're going, and local yocals in pickups, and you've got a road that can make loveland pass look easy peasy..
Not a good combo.
I avoid I-81 (north near Harrisonburg) to avoid this mayhem daily. Cost me about 10 minutes daily. I view it as car/life conserving.
