Traffic congestion relief has been one of the few brights spots of the pandemic. Because of COVID-19 and its stay-at-home orders, delays caused by traffic congestion in the Salt Lake metro area plummeted by a steep 31% last year, a new study says. In 2019 before the pandemic, congestion typically added 5.7 minutes to a trip that would take 30 minutes in clear conditions in the Salt Lake area. In 2020, that dropped to 3.6 minutes.
