Report shows Miami drivers spend 6.1 days per year stuck in traffic
While Miami is known for its vibrant beaches and lively nightlife, drivers would say the the city is also known for its unbearable traffic.
In a new report by injury lawyers at Bader Scott who analyzed TomTom data, Miami ranks as the eighth city in the U.S. with the worst rush hour traffic.
Hours per week on the road
If drivers feel like they spend days behind other cars as they commute to work or try to navigate the city, then they’d be right.
According to the report, drivers spend an average of 3.20 hours per week in rush hour traffic, equaling to 6.1 days.
Those 3.20 hours spent on the road combine to be 147 hours over a 230-working day year, the report said.
“Ultimately, rush hour traffic is inevitable as people travel to and from work or school,” said Seth Bader, a spokesperson for Bader Scott. “While it can be frustrating, the most important thing is to set off in plenty of time and drive safely. Being patient and prepared not only helps reduce stress, but also ensures a safer journey for everyone on the road.”
Dealing with traffic
Bader also provided some tips on what drivers can do to avoid traffic.
“The best way of avoiding the traffic is to travel during off-peak hours, however, this isn’t always possible for most people,” he said. “Instead, try taking different routes or using public transportation and carpooling to reduce the number of cars on the roads.”
The city with the worst rush hour traffic was New York City, where drivers spent 9.9 days on the road, the report said.
“It is fascinating to see how much time drivers in major cities across the US are losing to rush hour traffic,” Bader said. Widely considered as one of the busiest cities in the country, New York unsurprisingly leads the ranking by a significant margin, at 5.17 hours per week.”

Miami Heat coach Erik Spoelstra: “Regardless of the scheme is, I always go back to that, it’s just about committing to doing hard things. We were really moving in the zone, taking away airspace and scrambling to challenge shots at the rim. In a lot of these losses in the last month we’ve just been giving up shots at the rim and threes.”

ORLANDO, Fla. — Lionel Messi scored twice in a four-goal second half, defender Telasco Segovia added a goal and two assists and defending champion Inter Miami CF rallied to beat Orlando City SC 4-2 on Sunday night, winning for the first time at Inter&Co Stadium.
Messi took a pass from Segovia and scored in the 57th minute to tie it 2-2, and Segovia scored unassisted in the 85th for the lead. Messi put the finishing touch on the victory when he scored off a free kick in the 90th.
“The victory belongs exclusively to the players,” Miami coach Javier Mascherano said after the game. “In the second half, they were a championship team. There were no tactics, nothing like that. There was heart, courage, possession, resilience, commitment. I think the team came out because they were champions last year.
“In the end, the players showed it. This victory is theirs.”
Messi’s first two goals of the season give him 52 in his first 55 regular-season MLS matches — 51 of them in his past 49 appearances. It also brought the reigning MLS MVP to 898 career goals scored, including 672 for Barcelona and 115 for Argentina.
“He’s the best player to ever play this sport. He’s a leader, and as a leader, he inspires others, but he also often needs to be inspired himself,” Mascherano said of Messi. “When he was driving forward, he had more attacking options, and with so many opportunities, he clearly has the ability to create chances like no one else, and that’s what allowed us to turn the game around.”
Marco Pašalić took a pass from Iván Angulo and scored in the 18th minute to give Orlando City a 1-0 lead. Pašalić has scored in four straight matches against Inter Miami.
Defender Griffin Dorsey set up Martín Ojeda for a goal six minutes later for a 2-0 advantage that stood through halftime.
Inter Miami cut it to 2-1 four minutes into the second half on Mateo Silvetti’s first career goal. Defenders Segovia and Facundo Mura had assists as the 20-year-old forward found the net in his fifth career appearance.
Segovia had eight goals and six assists as a rookie last season, while Mura collected his first assist in his first season.
Dayne St. Clair, the reigning goalkeeper of the year, turned away three shots — all in the second half of his second start with Inter Miami, but let in a soft goal for Orlando’s first.
Maxime Crépeau had four saves in his second start for Orlando City.
Teenager Colin Guske, 19, will miss Orlando City’s next match after the rookie picked up two yellow cards in his first start — the second one led to his exit in the 88th minute.
Inter Miami, which had never won in its previous nine trips to Orlando, was coming off a 3-0 road loss to LAFC.
Orlando City swept Inter Miami during the regular season last year and leads the all-time series 8-7-4.
Inter Miami plays D.C. United on Saturday at Audi Field. Orlando City is also on the road with a match against New York City FC.
