There are traffic jams on the Tangente every day - Vienna's drivers spend six working days a year here and in other places.

Viennese drivers lose 48 hours a year in traffic jams. A traffic expert explains what would bring relief in addition to the Lobau Tunnel. We also wanted to know from the Viennese how satisfied they are with the situation in the city. 

Viennese drivers wasted six full working days, or 48 hours, last year. Six hours more than in 2023, which was partly due to major roadworks (west exit). Nevertheless: in no other city in Austria do drivers lose more time in the traffic jam (see also chart below) - which also costs individual drivers hard cash. And not even a little.
