But a report released Tuesday by the Texas Transportation Institute at Texas A&M University may help seasonal and daily commuters avoid frustrating delays on America's notoriously clogged roadways.

The study identified 328 of the most congested stretches of highway in the nation based on the amount of time, gas, and money that drivers waste sitting in traffic.

Although the 328 corridors analyzed account for only 6 percent of the nation’s total freeway lane-miles and 10 percent of the traffic, they contribute to a shocking 36 percent of the country’s urban freeway congestion.

Seven of the top 10 most congested corridors were in Los Angeles, making Southern California one of the biggest fuel-wasting regions in America.
