The Windy City was named the tenth-worst U.S. city to drive in on a new WalletHub list published Tuesday.
The personal finance website compared the 100 largest cities across four key dimensions: cost of ownership and maintenance, traffic and Infrastructure, safety and access to vehicles and maintenance.

It's a lot to take in when considering drivers annually spend an average of more than 290 hours on the road. That's equivalent of a seven-week vacation. Add the costs of wasted time and fuel due to traffic congestion, and WalletHub's collective tab comes to about $124 billion annually, or $1,700 per household.
Raleigh, North Carolina was named the best city to drive in. Detroit was named the worst.
