Now try it with New York traffic.

Not sure how you'd drive around NY (on a boat?), but I was pretty sure that DFW is at least just as big - must be, given how it's population is only 2x smaller, but consists mostly of suburbs that consume vastly more space per person compared to Moscow's commieblocks. There's no neat circle roads there, though, but taking even the most encompassing route (which is fair game given how Moscow's ring road also wraps around a lot of area not under Moscow jurisdiction) it still takes less time, even though the distance is higher.
