See 10 Most Traffic-Congested Cities in the World

4. Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
Home of the year’s Summer Olympics, Rio de Janeiro gets its great amount of negative press. It can be the greatest of the three Brazilian cities in the top 10. Drivers in the town lose typically 165 hours annually being stuck in traffic, while a 2014 federal study revealed that traffic congestion in Rio and the nearby city of Sao Paulo caused the increased loss of $43-million to the economy, because of lost of productivity and wasted fuel. To place that into perspective, $43-million is add up to two percent of Brazil’s entire GDP.

3. Istanbul, Turkey

The worst city for traffic in Europe is Istanbul, Turkey. The town stretches across two continents and multiple bridges, which doesn’t assist with the flow of traffic. There’s also a concentration of nightlife, tourist attractions and the business district all within the town center. Some drivers report that five lanes of traffic can develop on streets with three designated lanes and frustrated motorists aren’t even afraid to honk at police.
