I am the WORST at sitting in traffic. I will admit it makes me crazy. This stat although higher than we would want … compared to others not that bad. See what I did there with glass half full?? Check out the break down:
How long do you spend in traffic a year: The stats have been looked at over and over in the INRIX Global Traffic Scorecard. They show the average U.S. commuter loses an average of 30 hours a year stuck in traffic. But, people who live in some USA cities have it worse than that. Look who sits at #1!
1. Chicago – 155 hours lost per driver in 2022 annually sitting in traffic
2. Boston – 134 hours per driver annually
3. New York – 117 hours per driver annually
4. Philadelphia – 114 hours per driver annually
5. Miami – 105 hours per driver 2022 annually sitting in traffic
6. San Francisco – 97 hours per driver
7. Los Angeles – 95 hours per driver
8. Washington, DC – 83 hours per driver
9. New Orleans – 77 hours per driver
10. Atlanta – 74 hours per driver
#69 DENVER -54 HOURS LOST IN TRAFFIC PER DRIVER PER YEAR
Incidentally, the worst city for traffic in the world is London, England…but not by much.
