Traffic congestion level in Marseille 2020

The traffic congestion level varied a lot in Marseille in 2020. The lowest level had been reached in April 2020, reaching only six percent. It was directly correlated to the first lockdown in France, decided by the French government to limit the spread of the COVID-19 virus. Nevertheless, figures started to increase again during the summer period. A second lighter decrease has been observed in November 2020, during the second lockdown.

Supplementary notes

The source adds the following information:

"A 53% congestion level in Bangkok, for example, means that a 30-minute trip will take 53% more time than it would during Bangkok’s baseline uncongested conditions.

You can turn this 53% into travel time through simple calculations. First: 0.53 x 30 mins = 15.9 mins extra average travel time. Second: 30 mins + 15.9 mins = 45.9 mins total average travel time.

We calculate the baseline per city by analyzing free-flow travel times of all vehicles on the entire road network – recorded 24/7, 365 days a year. This information allows us to also calculate, for example, how much extra time a driver will spend in traffic during rush hour in Bangkok."
