How many hours do we spend in traffic during a year in Portugal?
ANThe hours spent in the car on a trip can be increased by traffic in big cities. As such, and because it is a source of curiosity around the world, Inrix carried out a study to calculate the average number of hours that each person loses in traffic during a year.
The company specializing in software for locating and analyzing historical and real-time traffic conditions has prepared a study for 2022 that goes by the name of global traffic scorecard. According to this study, London is the city where drivers spend more time traveling by car.
On average, in London, each driver spent 156 hours in traffic in 2022. Close behind is Chicago with an average of 155 hours. Completing the world podium is Paris with an average of 138 hours a year.
Portugal has numbers far below these, but even so, they are still considerable hours. Lisbon is the city with the most traffic in the country, with each person spending, on average, 60 hours a year in traffic. Porto follows, with 40 hours, and Braga, with 29. Évora has an average of 28 hours and Guimarães 24.
