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.
