We all gripe about 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).
