INRIX just released the 2009 edition of its National Traffic Scorecard, and unsurprisingly the news isn’t good for Chicago. For the fourth year in a row, Chicagoland is the third most congested metropolitan area in the country, behind only New York City and Los Angeles. INRIX also found that five of the country’s 25 worst traffic bottlenecks are located on the Dan Ryan Expressway between the Cermak and Taylor exits—a distance of about a mile and a half. No wonder traffic tends to back up there at all hours of the day.
