How long did you spend sitting in traffic last year? If you live or work in Philly, almost two full work week's worth of time, according to a new study.

This year's Global Traffic Scorecard, put out by transpiration analytics firm INRIX, found drivers all over the country are experiencing longer commutes. 

The nation's worst cities for congestion are New York, Chicago and Los Angeles. But Philadelphia was not far behind, ranked 13th worst, with an average of 69 hours lost stuck in traffic. That's much higher than the national average of 42 hours a year, and even more than before the pandemic.
