The traffic is Almaty is only bad if you go at commuting times (or on a Sunday evening when everybody is coming home from a weekend in the mountains!). Other times it really isn't a problem, say 1000-1500 weekdays, most of the day at weekends. If you've already been to Almaty then miss it out if you can, there are plenty of little dirt roads out there, otherwise it's a must-visit in the region.
