Belfast has been ranked the 50th most congested city worldwide in the 2022 Global Traffic Scorecard compiled by INRIX Inc
.
In Belfast, INRIX estimates drivers lose 72 hours sitting in traffic costing each an average of £636 in lost time with a downtown speed of 16mph. As a result, they added: “Congestion has been generally increasing, as traffic patterns begin to look more like they did in 2019 than in 2021.”View gallery Green Party leader and Belfast councillor, Malachi O’Hara, said: “It is no surprise Belfast continues to be one of the most congested cities in the UK and now, the world.
“Our Executive absolutely missed this window of opportunity by instead installing less than three kilometres of unconnected pop-up cycle lanes and refusing to enforce any form of pedestrianisation in the city. “For a small city like Belfast it is unacceptable that it appears year after year in the top most congested UK cities.
