Regarding one particular matter, I would like to apologize to Louisville in a way. And I refer to it as a “sort of” apology since, while not everything about this problem is ideal, I have found another city that is considerably worse. Therefore, Derby City, you are somewhat off the hook.
It’s time for a sit-down with you, Nashville. When the door closes behind you, it’s time to be called into the office. It’s not just me who has this feeling. In actuality, “feelings” are unrelated to a study conducted by INRIX, a firm that offers location-based data such as historical and real-time traffic situations. Due to the growing annoyance that Music City traffic has become, they are calling Nashville on the carpet. Furthermore, it didn’t happen all at once.
Nashville’s traffic congestion was listed as the 131st worst on Earth two years ago, but things have drastically altered, and not in a good way.
The commuters who endure terrible traffic in Tennessee’s largest city on a daily basis are probably not surprised by what INRIX found after analyzing data from over 900 cities across 37 countries. And Nashville ranks a questionable #27 out of over 900 cities worldwide. Here in the United States, the number leaps to eleventh. And just consider the expense and the hours lost. Good grief.
As a semi-frequent traveler to Nashville, I had observed a growing challenge in navigating the city that had not previously been an issue. And now we have these figures to support my thoughts. These outcomes were most likely unavoidable given the tremendous population rise.
