One of the major problems in Bozeman, and in my opinion one of the biggest is traffic. Compared to larger cities and metropolitan areas, traffic in Bozeman really isn't that bad. However, people that have called Bozeman home for more than a decade have really noticed the increase in traffic and aren't happy about it.

Some of the worst places to be during rush hour traffic in the Bozeman area are N. 19th Ave., Huffine Ln., and Jackrabbit Ln. Main St. in downtown Bozeman also gets really congested during those times. Good luck if you're trying to make a left turn.
