A study by a German research company tried toย discover which are the best and worst cities for driving. The goal was enriching the debate around modern mobility and encouraging cities to learn from each otherโs positive urban engagements and legislation.
The study examined several factors; congestion levels, public transport options, the average cost of parking, cost of fuel, average speeds, levels of air pollution, accidents and fatalities, road quality and the frequency/perception of road rage. Any traffic delays or congestion caused by temporary construction work was not taken into account for this study. Once all factors were researched for 100 cities, a final score was calculated for each.
