The TomTom Traffic Index is based on 19 trillion data points collected over nine years from 390 cities in 48 countries and is now in its sixth year. Data collected for the index is based upon 730,000 hours of driving time during 2016.

Cities are given a percentage for Congestion, indicating the extra amount of travel time compared with a ‘Free Flow’ situation without traffic.    [FULL  STORY]
