SEATTLE -- If you drive in Seattle, this may come as no surprise: A new study ranks Seattle near the top of the nation's most-congested cities list.
According to researchers with the consulting firm INRX, the Greater Seattle Metro area is the ninth most congested city in the U.S.
The worst place and time to be on the road is westbound 520 at Bellevue Way and Lake Washington Boulevard on Thursdays between 6 p.m. and 7 p.m. Traffic crawls at 5 miles per hour during that time.
Also making the list is eastbound State Highway 16 at Union Avenue in Pierce County, which ranked at No. 92.
The findings are part of INRIX's "Annual Traffic Scorecard," which ranks the nation's most 100 congested cities. Researchers say overall, traffic and commute times are up nationally.
Los Angeles remains No. 1 on the most-congested cities list, followed by New York, Chicago, Washington, D.C. and Dallas.
