Do you think you’re losing a lot of time due to traffic congestion on the UAE’s roads?
Well, a recent study suggests we’re better off compared to most urban areas around the world.
The research from transportation data firm INRIX shows Dubai residents spent an average of 80 hours stuck in traffic jams last year, while in Abu Dhabi it was 50 hours.
But that’s nothing compared to the likes of Moscow, London, Rome or Paris where people spent more than 200 hours queuing on the roads.
These UAE motorists shared their daily commuting experience with ARN News.
