Honolulu Now Trumps L.A. as Worst Traffic City

We hope you're not planning a Memorial Day trip to Honolulu...

If so, expect to go from one traffic nightmare to another. A new study released by INRIX shows that Honolulu's traffic wait times are actually worse than those in the Los Angeles area. According to the study, Hawaii's capital city residents endured an average of 58 hours in traffic in 2011. Here in L.A., Angelenos wasted around 56 hours in traffic last year.

Here's the full list:

1. Honolulu (58 hours) 
2. Los Angeles (56 hours) 
3. San Francisco (48 hours) 
4. New York (57 hours)
5. Bridgeport, CT (42 hours) 
6. Washington, D.C. (45 hours)
7. Seattle (33 hours) 
8. Austin (30 hours) 
9. Boston (35 hours)
10. Chicago (36 hours)

One Patch user had this to say on Facebook: "I've been to Honolulu and it's bad. But nothing is as bad as the Sepulveda Pass area with all the construction going on."

Indeed, L.A. does have some of the worst traffic corridors, according to the study. The 405 Freeway NB from 105 Freeway NB/Imperial Highway to Getty Center Drive tops the list.
