These are Belgium's 10 most traffic-clogged cities

Brussels is Europe's 11th most congested city and has the worst traffic in Belgium, followed by Antwerp and Namur, according to the latest stats from TomTom.

Drivers in Brussels spend, on average, 37% longer getting to their destination than they would do if traffic was flowing freely, the figures show.

Antwerp scored 31% and Namur overtook Liège to become Wallonia's most traffic-heavy city, with 29%.

The satnav operator gathered data from 403 cities in 56 countries worldwide. Brussels, London and Paris all have similar levels of congestion - and the busiest streets in the Belgian capital were the Rue de la Loi and Rue du Trône.

The worst city in Europe was Moscow, where drivers should factor in an extra 56% of driving time to reach their destination, followed by Instanbul, Bucharest, Saint Petersburg and Kiev.

Worldwide, the most congested city was Mumbai, on 65%, followed by Bogota, Lima and New Delhi.
