@wtopnews: Drivers in the D.C. region spend more time dealing with traffic than any other city in the nation, according to a new ranking from Consumer Affairs which looked at traffic data from the 50 biggest metropolitan areas in the nation. The D.C. region knocked Los Angeles off its throne to claim the top spot, and did that with an average commute of 33.4 minutes and traffic congestion in the region, which lasts 6 hours and 35 minutes.

it was so great in between 2020-2022. Since they required people to return to office, it picked back up even worse than before. Traffic 7 days/week before, during, and after normal rush hour times

It didn’t used to be this bad there was only rush hour doing actual rush-hour. Now it’s like every day all day. They keep building all this housing and moving all these people here that can’t drive but also they’re not building roads to deal with the increase in population

Everyone thinks that as soon as the turn signal comes on they can merge straight into the other lane

295 is sweet, a major artery between 2 big cities with 2 lanes and no shoulders with an on merge ramp every mile

yeah, taking away wfh, plus a major bridge collapse, plus the government job uncertainty has really made this 15 times worse. I lived in carroll county and had a 21mile drive to work, 5 years ago, 28min every time besides rush hour, now I'm lucky if it's under an hour

33 minutes?? nowhere have I lived in the DMV that the commute is only 33 minutes. That would be a dream. average is at least an hour.

Traffic became exponentially worse with the return to work order. It used to take me under an hour to get from Calvert county to Bethesda for work in the mornings. After the RTW order, it takes an hour and 20 minutes minimum.
