Washington D.C. Named Worst City For Traffic Congestion

People who live in Washington D.C. lose more hours to traffic than any other major U.S. city, according to the Texas A&M Transportation Institute's annual survey.  Commuters in the nation's capital lose an average of 67 hours a year.  That's almost 30 hours more than the average American commuter.  Los Angeles and San Francisco are tied in second place, with drivers in both California cities spending 61 hours a year stuck behind the wheel in traffic.  Fourth place goes to Newark, New Jersey, followed by Boston.  Houston, Atlanta, Chicago and Philadelphia all rank in the top ten as well.  However, the most recent numbers are significantly lower than the traffic figures from before the 2007 recession, which experts say could be due to fewer employed people being on the roads during regular work hours. So the next time you are stuck in traffic in Spokane, be thankful you are not in D.C.  Because around here, you are still just 15 minutes from anywhere.
