Ranking the most congested cities and the worst traffic bottlenecks

The INRIX National Traffic Scorecard 2010 Annual Report provides a comprehensive analysis of the state of traffic congestion in 2010 across America and how it’s changes versus 2009. In this year’s report, we find America is back on the road to gridlock after 11 straight months of increases in traffic congestion on our nation’s roads translating into an avg. 10 percent increase in travel times for drivers. The data suggests population growth combined with increases in interstate commerce spurred by economic recovery are fueling these increases. New analysis showing the nation’s worst traffic corridors finds that drivers traveling our nation’s ten worst traffic corridors annually spend an average of one month idle in traffic.
