DC among nation's worst for traffic

WASHINGTON (FOX 5 DC) - Every driver in the DMV will tell you the traffic here is bad - but a new study shows just how bad it is.

Analytics company Inrix says D.C. is the second-most congested city in the U.S.

The study says that D.C.-area drivers waste 155 hours a year sitting in traffic.

That travel time costs each driver just over $2,000.

This year, Boston took the top spot for most congestion.

D.C. outpaces the nationwide average - where most Americans spend 97 hours a year in traffic.

On a global scale, D.C. ranks 19th.
