Monthly traffic congestion level in the French city of Lyon in 2020
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."
