The average American will spend almost a full work week in traffic, according to a new study by the Texas Transportation Institute. The 38 hours per year the average commuter spends stuck in their car every year means 26 extra gallons of gas and $710 per person.

Traffic congestion continues to worsen in American cities of all sizes, creating a $78 billion annual drain on the U.S. economy in the form of 4.2 billion lost hours and 2.9 billion gallons of wasted fuel—that's 105 million weeks of vacation and 58 fully-loaded supertankers.

The study shows a sharp rise in traffic delays over the past 25 years. Compare 14 hours per year in 1982 and 18 hours in 1985 with 38 for 2005, when the reports' data was collected. And, that number could have been even worse. According to the American Public Transportation Association, public transportation use lessened total travel time by 541 million hours nationwide. That translates into 340 million gallons of fuel, and an estimated $10.2 billion in congestion costs.


 

If you know about that over-turned tractor trailer BEFORE you get on the highway you're much more likely to avoid the 2 hour delay it's going to cause.
