Is your commute bad? Do you drive through one of the worst traffic hotspots in the United States every day?

According to a study conducted by INRIX of the worst traffic hot spots in America, New York has more traffic hotspots in 2017 than any other city, costing drivers $64 billion by 2026. Los Angeles has 10 of the 25 worst traffic hotspots in America, costing L.A. drivers an estimated $91 billion over the next 10 years.

INRIX analyzed and ranked more than 100,000 traffic hotspots in the 25 most congested U.S. cities. The economic cost of hotspots was also calculated in terms of wasted time, lost fuel and carbon emissions over the next decade.

"Many cities are calling for increased transportation infrastructure spending to fix ailing roads, bridges and transit networks," said Bob Pishue, Senior Economist, INRIX. "By identifying traffic hotspots and analyzing their root causes, cities can effectively combat congestion and maximize present and future investments."
