Like every year, INRIX publishes its annual report traffic measurement in which, among other things, it is found that Spanish drivers lose on average 17 hours a year in traffic jams . Time that could be devoted to other tasks, such as spending more time with family, or watch the tug practically two seasons of Game of Thrones. Fortunately we do not live in Belgium, where the average hours lost in 2014 amounted to 41. As you may have been able to guess, that average rises in big cities. What Spanish cities are those that accumulate more hours lost in traffic jams? Which countries in the European Union had the highest levels of congestion?
