Honk! Honk! You're Spending Less Time In Traffic Jams - WSET.com - ABC13

It may not seem like it from the driver's seat but you're spending less time sitting in traffic jams.

From 2006 to 2010, the number of hours the average commuter spent in congestion each year dropped nearly 13%.

Most of the decline was traced back to less driving during the recession.

Traffic jams cost an average of $818 per year for each driver.

Some is wasted gas.. But mostly its lost on wasted time.
