The personal-finance website WalletHub just released its report on 2019's Best & Worst States to Drive in.
According to WalletHub, U.S. traffic congestion costs the average driver over $1,400 per year. While the U.S. is ranked 10th in the world of 137 countries when it comes to road quality according to the World Economics Forum, it also is home to 10 out of the world’s 25 worst cities for traffic.
