Traffic congestions in Lyon have gone down to a 25 percent congestion rate in 2020, in part as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and national lockdown. The year before, in 2019, the recorded rate was the highest since 2017, reaching 30 percent.

The rates are based on the following methodology detailed by the source:
"A 53% congestion level in Bangkok, for example, means that a 30-minute trip will take 53% more time than it would during Bangkok’s baseline uncongested conditions.
You can turn this 53% into travel time through simple calculations.
First: 0.53 x 30 mins = 15.9 mins extra average travel time.
Second: 30 mins + 15.9 mins = 45.9 mins total average travel time.
We calculate the baseline per city by analyzing free-flow travel times of all vehicles on the entire road network – recorded 24/7, 365 days a year. This information allows us to also calculate, for example, how much extra time a driver will spend in traffic during rush hour in Bangkok."
