It found that motorists in the Scottish capital of Edinburgh suffered most, with an average of 40% extra time added to journeys because of jams. London was second, with motorists facing an average of 37% extra travel time. Ralf-Peter Schaefer, TomTom’s vice president of traffic information, said: “Globally, traffic congestion is rising. "It’s designed to help drivers, cities and transport planners to understand traffic congestion, and, most importantly, how to reduce it. "Advances in journey planning, autonomous vehicles and car sharing schemes all promise to alleviate congestion in Edinburgh and other cities in the UK and around the world.”
