The US is home to half of the top 10 most congested cities in the world and 11 cities in the top 25. Moscow took the second-place, with motorists sitting in traffic jams for 91 hours, followed by New York on 89.

San Francisco was the fourth-most congested city, while Bogota in Colombia, was fifth, Sao Paulo ranked sixth and London, Atlanta, Paris, and Miami rounded out the top 10.

The study did not rank cities in either China, India, or Japan, but still covered 1,064 cities worldwide across 38 countries.
