We know that on some days, it doesn't feel like it. We complain about pothole slalom courses, parades of orange barrels and that random idiot who snarls up our commute. With the average Cleveland driver having a 30-minute commute, we are stuck in traffic just 11 minutes per day, according to TomTom's annual Traffic Index.

We dissected some of this year's statistics to pave the way for better driving habits.
