2024 TomTom Traffic Index: During Rush Hours, Travel Times in Los Angeles More Than Doubled, Compared to Driving in Free-flowing Conditions
10 Janeiro 2024 - 7:00AM
TomTom, the global geolocation technology leader released the 13th
annual edition of its Traffic Index, which details key traffic
insights and trends across 387 cities. The report found that Los
Angeles was the #9 slowest city in the U.S, and great Los Angeles
is the slowest metropolitan area. The report identifies how traffic
affects residents in Los Angeles from time and cost to emissions.
Key findings include:
- In average throughout 2023, it took Los Angeles drivers 14 min
and 29s to drive a typical 6-mile trip, up 28 seconds from 2022,
and +1 min. 16s from 2021
- November 15, 2023 was the slowest day: a section of I-10 was
damaged by a fire a few days before, and remained closed in both
directions for more than a week. On that day, average travel times
went up to 20 min and 35 s.
- For a typical 6 mile-commute driven twice a day during morning
& evening rush hours:
- Typical Los Angeles commuters spent 157 hours driving; of
which, a whopping 86 hours were due to congestion - which means
that average travel times more than doubled at peak hours.
- Each Los Angeles driver emitted 798 kg of CO2, and 80 trees
would be needed to absorb it.
- Los Angeles residents spent $391 on gas, with $71 stemming from
traffic jams alone.
