While Minneapolis drivers love to grouse about traffic, the city is still relatively easy for drivers.
By the numbers: It took an average of about 12.4 minutes to drive 6 miles in 2024, according to TomTom's annual Traffic Index, released Tuesday.
- That's only nine seconds longer than in 2023, despite roads being as busy as ever.
- Minneapolis ranks 41st of the 93 largest U.S. cities.
How it works: TomTom's report is based on a representative sample of data collected by "over 600 million devices" and "over 61 billion anonymous GPS data points around the world," the company says.
- The numbers above are based on "the densest areas that capture 20% of all trips within the city-connected area," per TomTom.
- St. Paul was not included in the index.
