Cape Town ranks among the world’s worst for traffic…
Cape Town has been named among the top 10 cities with the worst traffic congestion globally, according to the 2024 INRIX Global Traffic Scorecard.
The comprehensive study, which analysed transportation data from 946 urban areas around the world, highlights Cape Town’s severe road delays as a significant concern for commuters and the economy.
The INRIX report underscores how traffic congestion can serve as an indicator of economic activity.
“Traffic can also be seen as a barometer for the economy. The movement of people, goods and services creates demand for road travel, but when demand exceeds the supply of road space it results in congestion. This means that while traffic congestion has a negative impact on the economy, it’s a symptom of economic activity,” the report states.
