An international survey finds Vancouver continues to face the worst traffic congestion among major Canadian cities.
The TomTom Traffic Index for 2019 gives Vancouver a congestion level of 39 per cent, the highest in Canada for the third year since the study began and up slightly from 38 per cent in 2017 and 2018.
That means the average trip in the city takes 39 per cent longer than it would if the roads were free of traffic gridlock.
Vancouver is 40th on the list of 416 cities studied across the globe but still far behind Bangalore and Manila which top the list with a congestion level of 71 per cent.
