America's Headac...
With the holidays just around the corner, plenty of roadtrips are being planned. But some urban areas make that family visit not so easy. The Daily Beast crunched the numbers to find America’s Highways from Hell.
To find this year’s Highways from Hell, Daily Beast used new research from the traffic-tracking firm INRIX, which collects data from more than 100 million vehicles across the country. Specifically, Daily Beast sliced and diced the INRIX Traffic Index, a score that accounts for the amount of extra time it takes to drive through a particular corridor of highway during rush hour, and the length of that corridor. Each city was first ranked based on these scores, totaling the INRIX Index for each gridlocked corridor in each city. Highlighted in the list is the worst corridor in each city.
Are you planning to drive on one of America’s Highways from Hell? Check out this list of the top 10 worst highways to find out.
