Toronto ranked seventh globally in the world and first in Canada for worst traffic, with commuters losing an average of 118 hours on Greater Toronto Area roads and highways due to congestion in 2022.

In North America, Toronto ranked third, behind only Chicago and Boston.

The world's worst cities for traffic, according to INRIX, are London, Chicago and Paris, respectively.
