The most congested city?

Montreal was found to be the most congested Canadian city, according to new analysis of traffic congestion around the world.

Montreal drivers spent 52 hours in traffic jams during peak time periods in 2016.

Traffic consultant Rick Leckner said its largely due to the many construction projects throughout the city.

"The combination of improper planning, three major projects and regular maintenance is making congestion worse," he said. 

No shock that Toronto is Canada’s second most-congested city with 45.6 hours spent stuck in traffic. St. John’s, Ottawa and Vancouver round out the top five. 

As frustrating as their daily commutes can be, Canadians count their blessings. Commuters in L.A. spent 104 hours stuck in traffic during peak times last year, according to Inrix.
