São Paulo, with over 6 million cars, 12 millionpeople, and 20,000 km of roads, analyzed data from May 2020 to September 2023. Traffic patterns varied significantly on different weekdays. Mondays had lower volume (6.7 million vehicles) andcongestion (76 km), while Tuesdays and Wednesdays had intermediate levels (6.6 million vehicles and 100 km, respectively). Thursdays and Fridays showed higher volume (6.7 million vehicles) and increased congestion (110 km).
