Worst Traffic Cities in America: Your 2022 Update

With personal safety becoming more important because of the influence of Covid-19, there has been a marked decrease in mass transportation and a rise in car rentals. As the pandemic slowly releases its captive hold on the human race, more and more people are using cars again—and this means more traffic.
