Traffic congestion is reported to cause over 4 billion hours of delay, waste 10.6 billion litres of fuel, and create an economic cost of $87 billion annually in the USA. Comparable national data are not readily available for Canada, but congestion in the Toronto region is estimated to cost more than $6 billion annually and is expected to increase to $15 billion by 2031 in the absence of significant intervention. Twenty five percent of congestion is caused by incidents (such as collisions and spilled loads) and a further 15% is caused by adverse weather.

据报道，交通拥堵导致超过40亿小时的延误，浪费106亿升燃料，每年在美国造成870亿美元的经济损失。加拿大没有可比的国家数据，但多伦多地区的拥堵估计每年造成的损失超过60亿美元，如果不进行重大干预，预计到2031年将增加到150亿美元。25%的拥堵是由事故(如碰撞和溢出的负载)造成的，另外15%是由不利的天气造成的。
