While your morning commute on Interstate 5 might feel painful, it still is not nearly as bad as before the pandemic, according to a new study from Kirkland-based software company INRIX.
According to the INRIX study, traffic congestion in Seattle in 2022 is still 38% lower than traffic levels from 2019.The report is an analysis of traffic congestion in 295 urban areas in the United States and concludes that Seattle saw the lowest levels of traffic congestion in 2021 during the height of the pandemic. Most cities have since bounced back to normal levels, but Seattle hasn’t.
“The typical driver in the country lost 51 hours in congestion, up 15 hours from 2021’s 36 hours lost, costing the average driver $869 in lost time. That doesn’t include fuel cost increases, which INRIX analyzed would cost the average American driver $134 more in 2022 than in 2021,” according to the study. “It would cost the Los Angeles commuter nearly $315 more in 2022 than in 2021, and the typical New York driver an additional $213 in 2022.
A possible explanation for this is that it was relatively recently when traffic patterns started to return to normal, according to INRIX traffic analyst Bob Pishue.
