IT’S OFFICIAL: NYC IS THE WORST CITY FOR DRIVERS

We're not even a little bit surprised.

Written by Anna RahmananTuesday December 6 2022

A new study by Circuit makes one of our chief complaints about New York City
official: we live in the worst town for driving.

Circuit figured out which cities in the country are the worst for delivery and
courier drivers.

Specifically, the outlet analyzed criteria like congestion levels, traffic jam
lengths, driving speeds, number of traffic jams, hours lost during congestion
and distracted driving fatalities, based on data from the TomTom Traffic Index
Ranking, the INRIX Global Traffic Scorecard and the NHTSA Fatality and Injury
Reporting System.

With a total score of 78.75, New York City topped the ranking, followed by
Chicago (score: 71.56), Miami (score: 57.32), Austin (score: 55.59) and Los
Angeles (score: 53.23). 

Picture us not surprised. How often do you find yourself sitting in an Uber in
gridlock traffic trying to reach your destination which, more often than not, is
only 20 or so blocks away? Driving across town is a nightmare all of its own.
Sometimes, we wonder whether it's faster to travel from the Upper East Side to
Long Island than it is to navigate the city's streets from NoMad to the West
Village, for example. 

Not only did we top the list for the worst city for drivers, but New York City
is also officially the most congested town in the country. “On average, it can
take 35% longer to get somewhere during periods of high traffic congestion in
New York,” reads the survey. “For example, a trip that normally takes 30 minutes
could take 10-11 minutes longer during rush hours.” 

Alas, if we're being completely honest, none of these metrics deter our desire
to live here forever. We'll just take the subway everywhere.
