If you're sitting in traffic on the way to work, here's a startling fact, Kiwis spend the equivalent of 11 work days a year stuck in traffic.

TomTom has released its annual traffic figures.

Aucklanders waste the most time in the car - 95 hours a year are spent sitting in traffic - that's nigh on 12 working days.

It's not much better in Wellington or Christchurch - 93 hours in the capital, and 77 hours a year for Garden City commuters.

Tuesday mornings are the worst for traffic in Auckland and Christchurch, while Fridays offer the clearest run in all three major cities.
