Considering the traffic that often takes hours on our cities’ roadways, it appears that India has the biggest traffic jams and congestion in the world. You are completely incorrect. According to World of Statistics, there are several large cities throughout the world with longer traffic jams than Indian cities. World of Statistics has published a list of cities around the world with the worst traffic. This list includes cities such as Lagos, Los Angeles, San Jose, Colombo, Dhaka, Delhi, Sharjah, Kolkata, Guatemala City, and Mumbai.

Bucharest

Bucharest, Romania is the country’s capital and a major transportation hub. The city’s roads are frequently crowded, especially around rush hour. Traffic is particularly heavy here in the morning and evening . People in Romania’s capital spend around 50% extra time owing to traffic bottlenecks, and more than 90% of their time is squandered during morning and evening rush hours. There are two major reasons behind the traffic in Bucharest. One, there is no charge for parking here. Second, much work needs to be done on public transport. 

Istanbul

Istanbul, Turkey, is a big city at the crossroads of Europe and Asia. The growth of the city has resulted in a rise in the number of automobiles on the road. Istanbul is listed as the city with the most traffic in all of Europe. Even while the government is taking the required steps to address this, meaningful changes are not obvious.

There is an economic loss there, particularly due to the delay in the supply of numerous such regular things. 

Rome
