Traffic is back and in a big way.
The latest INRIX Gridlock Index (IGI) shows drivers have been spending a lot more time sitting bumper-to-bumper. Traffic jumped by almost 10 percent during February, for the largest year-over-year increase ever recorded by our 100-metro area index.
It looks like gridlock levels are finally climbing out of their long slump. While more people hitting the road might be awful for drivers, it’s also a sign that more jobs and more orders are being filled – great news for the economy.
The latest IGI shows that traffic in large metro areas like Boston, Detroit, Chicago, and Houston also jumped dramatically. How did your city compare? Check out the complete list of IGI results here.
