According to INRIX, which tracks global traffic trends, the average Philadelphian spent 114 hours stuck in traffic last year.
As companies adopt a hybrid schedule, where employees can work from home a few days a week, there are certain days and times that are busier on the roads than others.
On Monday, traffic is down about 11% on average when compared to 2019 levels. The busiest weekday is Friday, especially in the city. On Walnut Street near 47th Street, 15,000 vehicles were counted in that area on a Friday in January. Traffic usually averages 13,000 to 14,000. On Federal Street near 11th Street in South Philadelphia, nearly 4,000 vehicles were counted on Fridays. On Mondays, it's around 2,500."The biggest difference, in the morning, there's a 12.5% decrease still," said Robyn Briggs, of PennDOT. "In the evening, there's an 8% decrease."
With the change in traffic patterns will come a change in traffic signal timing. Many signals were timed based on pre-pandemic traffic patterns. PennDOT said rush hour happens more gradually now, which could lead to changes in timing.Copyright © 2023 WPVI-TV. All Rights Reserved.
