Decarie gets the Bronze!

U.S. traffic data firm NAVTEQ has published  a list of the 10 slowest freeways in North America:

Freeways with the Slowest Typical Rush Hour

(Traffic direction in parentheses)

1. New York City – Brooklyn Battery TUNL (NB)

2. New York City – Washington BRG (EB)

3. Montreal – AUT-15 (EB)

4. Philadelphia – US-202 (SB)

5. Montreal – RTE-138 (WB)

6. New York City – Washington BRG (WB)

7. Los Angeles – 1-10 (EB)

8. Boston – US-1 (NB)

9. Dallas – TX-366 (EB)

10. Toronto – Don Valley PKWY (NB)

Now that's impressive! Coming in third after NYC is no mean feat in a continent that includes LA, Chicago and Dallas.

This list doesn't even take population into account. Speaking of which:
