A report from Inrix Research indicates Columbus drivers lost an average of 71 hours sitting in backed-up traffic in 2018, better than the national average of 97 hours, but about six percent more than in 2017, according to a report in The Columbus Dispatch.
During those peak travel times, drivers are only moving at an average speed of 14 mph as they approach within one mile of downtown Columbus, the report said.
The report ranks Columbus as the 25th most congested city in the U.S. and 135th in the world with Franklin County home to 1.5 million registered vehicles, according to the newspaper report.
