European Traffic: Brussels 10th in European Congestion Index

Traffic Congestion Brussels

Brussels is Belgium's "congestion capital" as the Belgian city with the most traffic jams. That's according to data collected by the GPS manufacturer TomTom.

Brussels takes 10th place on a European list. The worst place to visit by car is Moscow, both on a European level and worldwide.

TomTom calculated that motorists living 30 kilometres from their work in Brussels, lose 101 hours each year in their car, only due to traffic congestion. This does not calculate the normal time to commute. TomTom claims that its Congestion Index is the most accurate in the world "because it's the only one which is fully based on motorists' actual travel times."
