AHUA Study Identifies Top Bottlenecks using HERE Traffic Data

The American Highway Users Alliance (AHUA) published a report pinpointing the top 54 bottlenecks across the US. The AHUA hopes the report can be used by Departments of Transportation to focus on bottlenecks that need improvement. HERE helped create the report by supplying much of the underlying data.  HERE provides data and new technology to help cities solve bottleneck and other transportation dilemmas.
