Is California Traffic Still the Worst?

Yes, it is. Well that was a fun article, see ya next week.

Transportation analysis firm Inrix released their 2015 Traffic Scorecard this week.

The Los Angeles metropolitan area is the worst, by a considerable margin.

San Francisco and the rest of the Bay tied for second with Washington D.C.

6 of the 10 worst traffic corridors belong to L.A. and friends, 2 of which fall along US-101, 2 on I-10, and 2 on I-5. The worst corridors in the country are the commutes into Downtown LA from the San Frenando Valley and the commute back out.

The worst corridor in the Bay Area is in downtown SF, from the 80/101 interchange at Portero Ave to the Bay Bridge toll.

Overall residents of LA waste an average of 81 hours in traffic and those in SF waste about 75 hours.

Inrix also reports on European Traffic and only London, England beats LA and SF with a whopping 101 hours spent in traffic.

We hope you have a killer mixtape.

To see all of Inrix’s report, see here.
