"Ranking America's Worst Traffic: Surprising Cities Take the Lead"

Los Angeles, known for its notorious traffic, ranks in the top ten of the TomTom Traffic Index Rankings for the United States, but is not the worst offender. New York City takes the top spot, with commuters spending an average of 24 minutes to travel just six miles. Despite heavy congestion, Los Angeles drivers are able to cover the same distance in about 15 minutes, but still lose an average of 89 hours per year stuck in rush hour traffic. The worst traffic in the world, according to TomTom, is in London, with a six-mile drive taking longer than 37 minutes to complete.
