Every year, TomTom, the world leader in GPS, unveils the list of the most congested cities around the world. In total, no less than 389 cities from 56 different countries are reviewed. In its latest ranking, we thus discover that motorists would have spent an average of four days in traffic jams in Brussels in 2022, i.e. the equivalent of 91 hours… If in 2021 Brussels occupied 52nd place in the said ranking, with these new results the capital today climbed to 14th position globally and seventh in Europe. According to TomTom’s study, it would take around 25 minutes and 30 seconds to drive 10 km in the heart of the city center in 2022, which is 50 seconds more than in 2021. One slot, more than the others, seems d Besides being nightmarish, it is Thursday between 5 and 6 p.m. At this precise moment, traveling 10 km in Brussels would take 32 min 40 s…
In addition to putting a strain on our nerves, traffic jams of course have a negative impact economically speaking and on the level of pollution. In fact, traffic jams would cause in one year the release of 202 kg of CO2 per motorist driving on gasoline. They would also generate an additional cost of 161 euros for a petrol car, and 130 euros for a diesel.
The next Belgian city to be mentioned in the rest of the ranking is Antwerp, which ranks 185th. As for the first place, unsurprisingly it is still London that wins the gold medal where more than 36 minutes would be necessary to cover 10 km. Among the good students, we can on the other hand cite Almere in the Netherlands, where the same journey is made in just eight minutes.
