A new study shows drivers worldwide are spending significantly more time stuck in traffic, including New York City, which took third place for the worst congestion in the United States cities and eighth worldwide.

The new study was released on Tuesday, January 10, by INRIX, the data and analytics firm specializing in transportation. The report ranks the most congested cities for drivers worldwide, with several major U.S. metro areas at the top, including New York, 

According to the study, United States drivers lost an average of 51 hours sitting in traffic last year, a 15-hour increase over 2021. 

INRIX’s Global Traffic Scorecard for the most congested urban areas in the United States alone is as follows.

Chicago (155 hours lost)

Boston (134 hours)

New York (117 hours)

Philadelphia (114 hours)

Miami (105 hours)

Los Angeles (95 hours)

San Francisco (97 hours)

Washington, D.C. (83 hours)

Houston (74 hours)

Atlanta (74 hours)

New Orleans (77 hours)

Portland, Oregon (72 hours)

Stamford, Connecticut (73 hours)

Dallas (56 hours)

Baltimore (55 hours)

San Diego (54 hours)

Denver (54 hours)

Austin (53 hours)

Seattle (46 hours)

Concord, California (54 hours)

Providence, Rhode Island (42 hours)

Las Vegas (41 hours)

San Juan, Puerto Rico (41 hours)

Nashville (41 hours)

Sacramento (36 hours)

INRIX predicts delays and congestion may only worsen in 2023 for the United States unless a recession forces drivers to change their driving behavior.
