Philadelphia, the City of Brotherly Love, has been ranked as the worst city in the nation for traffic woes, according to a recent study by WalletHub. This finding might not come as a surprise to those who endure the daily grind of navigating the Schuylkill Expressway, I-95, or Roosevelt Boulevard. The study, which analyzed the 100 largest cities across 30 key indicators of driver friendliness, revealed some eye-opening insights.
Philly drivers are in for a rough ride, spending some of the most hours stuck in traffic among major cities. The city also faces above-average costs for car repairs, adding to the financial burden. It's a double whammy for Philadelphia's drivers.
But it's not just Philly that's struggling. Oakland, California, New York City, and Washington, DC, also made the list of cities with the worst traffic conditions. Interestingly, the study determined that Corpus Christi, Texas, is the best city to drive in, offering a smoother and more enjoyable driving experience.
So, what's the takeaway? Well, it's a reminder that traffic woes are a shared struggle, and cities need to work on improving infrastructure and safety to make driving a less stressful and more enjoyable experience for everyone.
