TomTom Traffic Index: Vancouver is most congested city; Toronto ranks 7th in North America

TomTom, maker of GPS hardware and apps,  released its sixth Traffic Index comparing travel times during non-congested hours with travel times in peak hours. Three Canadian cities – Toronto, Vancouver and Montreal – remain in the top 10 congested metros, with the latest index finding Vancouver has surpassed Los Angeles for the first time, ranking the most congested city in North America.

Toronto ranks seventh overall, where on average journey times are 27 per cent longer than when traffic in the city is flowing freely. Journey times are 54 per cent and 72 per cent longer in the morning peak and evening peak versus non-congested hours, respectively.

TomTom’s Traffic Index reports the most congested day in Toronto during the quarter was Friday, June 28, 2013, which can be attributed to heavy rain fall and flooding in the GTA on the day.
