Traffic Congestion
Average level of traffic congestion in urban areas, measured on a scale from 0 to 100. A high score means frequent gridlock, long travel times, and high levels of urban stress. Score is inverted: countries with lower congestion receive a higher score. This indicator matters especially for digital nomads living in major cities, where commute time to coworking spaces or restaurants can vary dramatically.
