We all know that there are many traffic jams in our country. But a research firm has now figured out in which cities are we most lose the time. On average, we are in the Netherlands almost a week (39 hours) per year in the file. But in which cities you lose most of the time?

Research firm Inrix released the location data of millions of vehicles in the map and I came up with the following list of cities. Remarkable is the position of Utrecht, that in 2014 the fourth was on the list.

3Rotterdam46-2,1

4Amsterdam34-7,1

5Eindhoven30+1,4

6Groningen22-0,1

Overall, take the amount of traffic in the Netherlands, in Eindhoven and Utrecht is properly increased. What Eindhoven is probably here for the declaration to look for in the work between Eindhoven and Tilburg. Anyway, see Inrix, a trend which avoid congestion in the Randstad decreases, while in cities outside the Randstad increases. The company also has a list of highways where the most time was lost.

In total is considered to be one of 13 European countries and just like in 2014 we were last year at place 2 in Europe when it comes to avoid congestion. Just behind our southern neighbors, because in Belgium, it is overall just a bit worse. But the most time-consuming city of Europe? That remains London.
