INRIX a transportation data based out of Washington tabulated the rankings, and the results didn't surprise many drivers in Miami-Dade County. 
"From exit 9 Homestead, to over here in Doral it takes almost an hour when there's traffic than on the way leaving work going back it takes even longer," Isaac David, a commuter said. 
By comparison, INRIX estimates the typical American only lost 51 hours in traffic. Not only that, Miami's top speeds during the peak is slower. In 2021 it was 34 miles per hour, then in 2022, it was 25 miles per hour.
