Here Are The 10 Most Congested Cities In America

The Texas A&M Transportation Institute has released data from its annual Urban Mobility Scorecard, which indicates how long commuters spend sat in traffic over the course of a year - the results are shocking

The evening rush hour around 6pm is typically more congested than the morning rush hour, with 1am to 6am being the best time to travel. Traffic was unsurprisingly much lighter at weekends, with Friday being the most congested day to travel.

So which American cities are guilty of subjecting their inhabitants to the most severe congestion? Here are the worst culprits:

1. Washington DC - 82 extra hours in traffic in 2014
2. Los Angeles - 80 extra hours
3. San Francisco - 78 extra hours
4. New York City - 74 extra hours
5. San Jose - 67 hours
6. Boston - 64 extra hours
7. Seattle - 63 extra hours
8. Chicago - 61 extra hours
