Europe's Top Traffic Jam Capitals

New research published today shows peak-time drivers in Brussels waste an average 65 hours a year in traffic jams.

That's more on average than Londoners who lose on average 54 hours a year and more than in Germany's most congested city, Cologne, where on average drivers give up 57 hours a year of their lives to traffic jams. The worst rush-hour cities surveyed are Paris, where drivers lose 70 hours a year, and Manchester, where the figure is 72 hours. In Belgium, Antwerp pushes Brussels close with 64 hours annually . Ghent's in third place with a mere 33 wasted hours a year.
