We all gripeabout traffic, but San Antonio has some of the fastest driving times in the nation.
Driving the news: It took an average of just under 10 minutes to drive 6 miles in San Antonio in 2024, per TomTom's annual Traffic Index.
That means locals lose far fewer hours stuck in traffic than residents of nearly every other major U.S. city.
Meanwhile in New York, it usually took about 30 minutes to drive 6 miles last year.
Yes, but: Traffic is traffic, and San Antonians still waste around 25 hours a year sitting in it — though that's still better than Houston (47 hours), Dallas (46 hours) and Austin (43 hours).
