Rankings are for routes in which continuous stop-and-go conditions occur with few, if any, breaks in the queue. Thus, corridors that have equally severe delays but where
congestion is broken into several segments may rank lower in this type of congestion listing. Similarly, the length of congested corridors in 2017 may be longer or shorter than
those identified in the 2016 report.
