Which US military bases have the worst on-base traffic congestion, especially during lunch/dinner hours?

I'm curious to learn more about this topic from the RP community. I'm not focused on traffic at security gates -- so, I'm not asking about congestion tied to getting on/off base. I'm more focused on on-base traffic. Like, if you are on base and trying to drive to lunch someplace that is also on base. Which installations have the worst congestion?

I was just at Bragg trying to get in thru the South Gate on post in the last couple weeks. Thought I'd save time, but there was a 15-20 minute delay getting in that gate. Should've just gone in the main gate a Bragg. Lot's of lunchtime traffic through either gate at Ft. Bragg, NC- not a fan of that traffic.

Campbell before PT, After PT, lunch, and 1700. The post was designed during WWII. No POVs, no problem. Now every E1 drives.

Hood...wow. Awaiting transport once. Glad I never lived there.

FT Irwin 1700...yikes. Everyone doing the Barstow 500. The BRD days when line haul is running.

Ft Stewart at 1700 after the Division Song...

I feel as though answering this question with any detail could pose a security threat. To reword it, "At which bases are people generally congregated at a specific time with limited mobility and a near inability of security to respond to a threat?"

Just me, but I wouldn't ask questions like that.

And you only get 50 mins of lunch, then you have to stand in line for 20 mins

Hood has aweful traff8c and have done nothing but make it worse in the last 2 years. They cut roads from 2 lanes to 1 to add "bicycle lanes" they added stop signed areas that just didnt need them, like the straight away on a 3 way intersection. They they cut lunch down like 1/3 for literally no reason wahtso ever, so now dudes can barely eat in time
