Most likely thermostat. but also check to see if the cap holds pressure.

Longshot, but...
You don't have an AC condenser in front of the radiator that is all gunked to shit? Possibly blocking airflow to the radiator on the freeway -- but in the city sitting at stoplights and/or the fan dissipates heat good enough that it doesn't overheat.
