"The region won the unenviable ranking in an annual traffic mobility study released Thursday by the Texas Transportation Institute. The study calculated that Los Angeles-area motorists spent an average of 136 hours in rush-hour congestion in 2000--an increase of two hours over 1999. It also estimated that 75% of the area's freeways and streets are clogged during commute times--another statistic that leads the nation. By all estimates, Los Angeles is ready to 16-peat."
