It isn’t much of a secret that twice daily the Capital Beltway becomes something of a parking lot. But a recent report prepared for the Federal Highway Administration tells us just how bad a parking lot it becomes.

In a report assessing freight bottlenecks throughout the country, the interchange between I-495 and I-270 ranked seventh in the country, causing some 19,429 hours of delays annually. The interchange between I-495 and I-95 came in fifteenth, with 15,035 hours of delays. The report based its findings on traffic stats from 2002, so we can only imagine that since then things may have gotten worse.

If there is any consolation for commuters in these findings, it’s that we’re nowhere as bad as Los Angeles, which has four interchanges in the top 10, and Atlanta, which has two.
