Dublin is the 16th worst for traffic congestion in the world this year and is the 12th worst in Europe as measured by total hours lost - and the capital city's problems have gotten worse since the lifting of the Covid-19 pandemic restrictions, according to a major survey.

The Inrix report finds that Dublin’s traffic congestion has worsened from a global 20th worst ranking of 25 urban areas in the previous year.
