For the rest of the country, it may be a punchline, but traffic in Los Angeles kills souls.

Statistically speaking, L.A. is the most gridlocked city in the entire world. Drivers spent 102 hours on average in congestion in 2017, costing the city’s economy $19 billion. In contrast, drivers in Moscow and New York, tied for second place, spent just 91 hours gridlocked. According to a poll conducted by the L.A. Times, Angelenos stress more about traffic than personal safety, finances, or housing costs. Economists at the Journal of Public Economics even found that extreme traffic in L.A. increases the city’s domestic violence rate.
